Abstract:
Gymnocorymbus ternetzi belongs to the genus Gymnocorymbus in the family Characidae, and is mainly distributed in southern Brazil. Herein, we report the complete mitogenome of G. ternetzi using Illumina sequencing data. The mitogenome is 17,999 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis of G. ternetzi and 18 related species within Characidae indicates that G. ternetzi clusters within the family Characidae. The data provide useful genetic information for future studies on the taxonomy, phylogeny, and evolution of Characidae species.
