The complete mitochondrial genome of Diploprion bifasciatum (Perciformes, Serranidae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Diploprion bifasciatum was first determined. The mitogenome was 16,805 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 24 tRNAs, 2 rRNA, and 2 non-coding regions. The overall base composition of the mitogenome was estimated to be T 25.72%, G 17.10%, A 28.24%, and C 28.94%, with a slight A + T bias of 53.96%, indicating an obvious anti-G bias commonly observed invertebrates. It shared 78.9%, 78.7%, 76.8%, and 72.5% identities with that of Grammistes sexlineatus, Epinephelus moara, Plectropomus areolatus, and Hypoplectrus gemma, respectively.
