Abstract:
Cephalopholis miniata belongs to the family Serranidae of Perciformes, which is one of the most important species in coral-reef ecosystem. In this study, its complete mitochondrial genome is presented. The assembled mitogenome is 16,585 bp and includes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (12S and 16S), and an AT-rich region (also called control region, CR). The overall base composition is 29.2% A, 26.1% T, 16.2% G, and 28.5% C, with an A + T bias of 55.3%. Except ND6 and eight tRNAs, all other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand. Phylogenetic analysis shows that all species of the genus Cephalopholis cluster into a clade, including the newly sequenced mitogenome of C. miniata.
