Complete mitochondrial genome of Siniperca roulei (Perciformes: Sinipercidae)

Abstract

Siniperca roulei is an endemic species of the eastern part of China. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of S. roulei was determined. The circular genome is 16,493 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region. The overall nucleotide composition was 25.9% T, 29.3% C, 28.4% A, and 16.4% G, with an A + T bias of 54.3%. The gene composition and the arrangement of the S. roulei mitogenome were identical to most of the other vertebrates. The molecular data here we presented could play a useful role to study the evolutionary relationships and population genetics of Sinipercidae fish.
