We determined the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of the thorny seahorse Hippocampus histrix. The total length of H. histrix mitogenome is 16,523 bp, which consists of 13 protein coding, 22 tRNA and 2 rRNA genes and 1 control region. It has the typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement. This mitogenome sequence provides the basis for taxonomic and conservation studies of this and several closely related species.
我们测定了棘海马(Hippocampus histrix)的完整线粒体基因组(线粒体基因组)序列。棘海马线粒体基因组的总长度为16,523碱基对,由13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA基因、2个rRNA基因和1个控制区组成。它具有典型的脊椎动物线粒体基因排列。该线粒体基因组序列为该物种及几种近缘物种的分类和保护研究提供了依据。
