Deskripsi

The mitogenome of Halichoeres hartzfeldii is 16,481 bp in length. It consists of 37 typical vertebrate mitochondrial genes including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA), 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and a control region (D-loop). The orientation and arrangement of these genes is similar to that of the other sequenced Labridae mitogenome. The overall base composition of the mitogenome of H. hartzfeldii is biased towards A +T content at 52.9%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 13 concatenated PCGs nucleotide sequences indicated that the genome of H. hartzfeldii is closely related to the genus Halichoeres.
