The complete mitochondrial genome of Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baerii had been determined. The total length of the mitogenome was 16,763 bp and had 13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA, and 2 rRNA genes. Except for the eight tRNA and Nd6 genes, all other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand. The overall base composition of the heavy strand is 30.3% A, 24.3% T, 29.1% C, 16.3% G, with an AT content of 54.6%. The DNA sequence of A. baerii shared 97.8, 97.6, 93.5, 91.6, 93.6, and 87.1% sequence homology with that of Acipenser sinensis, Acipenser gueldenstaedtii, Acipenser transmontanus, Acipenser dabryanus, Acipenser stellatus, and Polyodon spathula. Molecular data presented here provide a useful tool for evolutionary as well as population genetics studied.
西伯利亚鲟(Acipenser baerii)的完整线粒体基因组已被测定。该线粒体基因组全长16,763 bp,包含13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA基因和2个rRNA基因。除了8个tRNA基因和Nd6基因外,所有其他线粒体基因都由重链编码。重链的总体碱基组成为:A占30.3%、T占24.3%、C占29.1%、G占16.3%,AT含量为54.6%。西伯利亚鲟的DNA序列与中华鲟、俄罗斯鲟、美国白鲟、达氏鲟、小体鲟和匙吻鲟的DNA序列分别具有97.8%、97.6%、93.5%、91.6%、93.6%和87.1%的序列同源性。本文提供的分子数据为进化研究以及群体遗传学研究提供了一个有用的工具。
