Complete mitochondrial genome of the (Gobiiformes, Gobiidae) with phylogenetic consideration.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of was sequenced. It was 16,515-nucleotide in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two non-coding regions (L-strand replication origin and control region), showing conserved gene arrangement with most vertebrates. The phylogenetic analysis based on complete mitochondrial genome of as well as other Gobiiformes species showed that had close relationships with . This study will provide useful genetic informatin for future phylogenetic and taxonomic classification of gobiiformes.
