We present the first mitogenome sequence of the Smoothnose Wedgefish, obtained through field sequencing on the MinION handheld sequencer. The mitochondrial genome of is 16,560 bp in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a non-coding control region (D-loop). GC content was at 40.1%. The control region was 867 bp in length. Whole mitochondrial genome sequence of will enable improved understanding of distribution, abundance, catch and trade rates of the Critically Endangered species.
我们展示了通过在MinION手持式测序仪上进行现场测序获得的尖吻魟的首个线粒体基因组序列。其线粒体基因组长度为16,560 bp,由13个蛋白质编码基因(PCGs)、22个tRNA基因、2个rRNA基因和一个非编码控制区(D-loop)组成。GC含量为40.1%。控制区长867 bp。尖吻魟的完整线粒体基因组序列将有助于更好地了解这种极度濒危物种的分布、数量、捕捞和贸易率。
