Abstract:
In this study, we present the complete mitochondrial DNA sequences of Epinephelus areolatus for the first time, which is 16,893 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a putative control region. The overall base composition of the H-strand is 27.0% T, 28.0% C, 28.6% A, and 16.3% G. The CO1 gene is initiated by GTG codon and ATP6 gene is initiated by TTG codon. The tRNA-Ser2 cannot be folded into the typical cloverleaf secondary structure because its dihydrouridine arm is replaced by a simple loop. A long-tandem repeat motif (76 bp), repeated six times, is found in the control region.
