In the present study, the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the hybrid from (♀) × (♂) was sequenced and characterized. The genome sequence was 16 443 bp in size, and the gene order and contents were identical with those of congeneric species in the genus Takifugu. Comparing with the complete mitochondrial genome of its parents, the hybrid of (♀) × (♂) was consistent with a maternal inheritance. All the initiation codons of protein-coding genes are ATG, except for COX1 that begins with GTG. The complete mitogenome of the hybrid of (♀) × (♂) provides an important dataset for the exploration of mitochondrial inheritance mechanism.
在本研究中，对（♀）×（♂）杂交种的完整线粒体DNA序列进行了测序和特征分析。基因组序列大小为16443bp，基因顺序和内容与Takifugu属的同属物种相同。与亲本的完整线粒体基因组相比，（♀）×（♂）杂交种符合母系遗传。除COX1以GTG起始外，所有蛋白质编码基因的起始密码子均为ATG。（♀）×（♂）杂交种的完整线粒体基因组为探索线粒体遗传机制提供了重要的数据集。
