The complete mitochondrial genome of Atrobucca nibe (Perciformes: Sciaenidae)

Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Atrobucca nibe has been determined by polymerase chain reaction and primer walking methods. The mitogenome is a circular molecule of 16,504 bp in length, including the typical structure of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 2 non-coding regions (control region and L-strand replication origin), the gene contents of which are identical to those observed in most bony fishes. Within the control region, we identified the termination-associated sequence domain (TAS) and the conserved sequence block domain (CSB-F, CSB-E, CSB-D, CSB-C, CSB-B, CSB-A, CSB-1, CSB-2, CSB-3).
