The complete mitochondrial genome of the dark-banded rockfish Sebastes inermis (Scorpaenidae, Scorpaeniformes)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the dark-banded rockfish Sebastes inermis was determined using next-generation sequencing, including Sanger sequencing. The full genome was 16,504 bp in length, including 2 rRNA, 22 tRNA, and 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), as well as the control region. The genome was 27.8% A, 26.8% T, 17.1% G, and 28.3% C, showing a slight AT bias (54.6%). All PCGs started with an ATG initial codon, except for COX1, which started with a GTG. The stop codon of all PCGs was a TAR, except for Cytb, which contained an incomplete termination codon, T. All tRNAs had the typical clover leaf structure except tRNASer (AGY), which lacked the DHU arm. The complete mitogenome of S. inermis will aid identification and genetic population studies on the genus Sebastes.coding genes (PCGs), as well as the control region.
