The complete mitochondrial genome of the Emperor angelfish, Pomacanthus imperator (Perciformes: Pomacanthidae)

摘要

In this study; the complete mitogenome sequence of the Emperor angelfish; Pomacanthus imperator (Perciformes: Pomacanthidae) has been sequenced by the next-generation sequencing method. The assembled mitogenome consisting of 16;538 bp; including 13 protein coding genes; 22 transfer RNAs; and two ribosomal RNAs genes. The overall base composition of Emperor angelfish is 28.4% for A, 28.2% for C, 16.2% for G, 27.2% for T and show 82% identities to Bluestripe angelfish Chaetodontoplus septentrionalis. The complete mitogenome of the Emperor angelfish provides essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogeography and evolutionary analysis for marine angelfish phylogeny.
