The complete mitochondrial genome of Hemigrammus bleberi

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Hemigrammus bleberi was obtained by the traditional polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based sequencing approach. The mitogenome of H. bleberi was determined as 17 021bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. Phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the complete mitogenomes of the species and closely related 21 teleost species to assess their phylogenetic relationship and evolution.
