  • Title: Complete mitochondrial genome of banjofish (Banjos banjos): genome characterization and phylogenetic analysis.
    Author: Liu J, Jin W, Wu C.
    Journal: Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal; 2016 Nov; 27(6):4433-4435. PubMed ID: 26486169.
    Abstract:
    The banjofish (Banjos banjos) is the only species in the monotypic genus Banjos and in the family Banjosidae. To understand the phylogenetic relationship of banjofish in teleost, we firstly determined the complete mitochondrial genome of banjofish. The entire mitochondrial genome of banjofish is 16 485 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes and 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA) and a control region (CR). The overall base composition is T, 26.2%; C, 29.2%; A, 28.6% and G, 16.0%. The central conserved sequence blocks (CSB) were identified and the core sequence (ACATATATGT) of terminal-associated sequences was recognized in the control region. The gene arrangement, base composition, and tRNA structures of the complete mitochondrial genome of banjofish is consistent with those of other teleost. The complete mitochondrial genome of banjofish was used to construct phylogenetic tree, which shows that banjofish is clustered with the fishes of the family Histiopteridae. We expect that the availability of mitochondrial genome of banjofish will facilitate the further investigations of the taxonomic resolution, biogeography and molecular systematic.
