Complete mitochondrial genome of Setipinna taty (Scaly hair-fin anchovy): Repetitive sequences in the control region

Abstract

The Scaly hair-fin anchovy, Setipinna taty (Clupeiformes, Engraulidae), is a commercially important marine fish species in China. In this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome of was first determined. The mitogenome (16,887 bp) comprises 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, and 2 main non-coding regions (the control region (CR) and the origin of the light strand replication). A 195 bp tandem repeat sequence was identified in the CR. This mitogenome sequence data would play an important role in population genetics and phylogenetic analysis of the Engraulidae.
