Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of Sander lucioperca has been sequenced and analyzed in this study. It was a circular double-stranded DNA molecule of 16,541 base pairs (bp) in length and exhibited 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes. The gene order and base composition were similar to those of other percid species. All protein-coding genes were initiated with ATG except for COX 1, which began with GTG instead. However, the termination codons of 13 protein-coding genes varied with TAG, TAA, TA or T. Within CR, we detected five copies of 10 bp tandemly repeated sequences domain, which immediately followed the tRNA(Pro). These mitogenome sequence data would contribute to better understanding phylogenetic relationships and population genetics of the family Percidae.
