Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of marine fish Halichoeres nigrescens was sequenced by the high-throughput sequencing method. The genome is 17,252 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and one large non-coding region. The gene arrangement of Halichoeres nigrescens is identical to that of common fishes. Phylogenetic tree based on 13 protein-coding genes shows that Halichoeres nigrescens has a closer phylogenetic relationship to Macropharyngodon negrosensis than to Halichoeres hartzfeldii.
