Complete mitochondrial genomes of Gritzenko's charr Salvelinus gritzenkoi and Miyabe charr Salvelinus malma miyabei and their interpretation regarding intraspecific taxonomy.

Background: Salvelinus is one the most species-rich genera of salmonids (Salmoniformes: Salmonidae), and mitogenomic sequence data have served as a rich source of information for resolving fish phylogenies and identifying new charr species. However, current reference databases contain limited mitochondrial genome information on narrow-ranged, endemic charrs with disputable origin and systematic status. More comprehensive mitochondrial genome-based phylogenetics will help enhance understanding of the relationship and delineate charr species.

Complete mitochondrial genomes of the charr (Salmoniformes: Salmonidae) from Arctic Canada.

The complete mitochondrial genomes were sequenced in two individuals of charr from Arctic Canada. The genome sequences were 16,652 bp in length; the genome organization and GC content (45.6%) are consistent with those of charr mitochondrial genomes published previously.

Complete mitochondrial genomes of endemic charr of the genus from Lake Nachikinskoe (Kamchatka, Russia).

The complete mitochondrial genomes were sequenced from three individuals of the endemic charr sp. 4 [ from Lake Nachikinskoe (Kamchatka, Russia). The complete mitochondrial genomes were 16,654 bp in size; the genome organization and GC content (45.

Complete mitochondrial genomes of the Arctic charr Linnaeus (Salmoniformes: Salmonidae).

The complete mitochondrial genomes were sequenced in three individuals of Arctic charr . The genome sequences were 16,655 and 16,657 bp in length, and the gene arrangement, composition, and size are very similar to the charr genomes published previously. The difference between the three genomes studied is low, 0.

Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic position of the Levanidov's charr Chereshnev, Skopetz et Gudkov, 1989 (Salmoniformes, Salmonidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced in Levanidov's charr . The genome sequences are 16,624 bp, and the gene arrangement, composition, and size are similar to the charr genomes. The level of divergence between and charr belonging to the genus was in the range from 4.

First report of three complete mitochondrial genomes of the long-finned charr Chereshnev et Skopetz, 1990 (Salmoniformes: Salmonidae) with phylogenetic consideration.

The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced in three individuals of long-finned charr from Lake El'gygytgyn (Chukotka Peninsula, Russia). The genome sequences are 16,655 bp in size and the gene arrangement, composition, and size are similar to the charr genomes published previously. The difference between the three genomes studied is low, 0.

Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic position of the Taranetz charr Kaganovsky, 1955 (Salmoniformes: Salmonidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced in two individuals of Taranetz charr . The genome sequences are 16,654  bp in size, and the gene arrangement, composition, and size are very similar to the charr genomes published previously. The difference between the two genomes studied is low, 0.

First report of the mitochondrial DNA sequences of Chukchi Charr (, Salmonidae).

Three mitochondrial DNA regions were sequenced in two individuals of the Chukchi charr from Lake Istihed (Chukotka): the entire gene sequences of cytochrome and cytochrome oxidase-1, and control region. The low level of sequence divergence detected between the sequences suggests that is probably an isolated population of the Taranetz charr The genealogy of mtDNA haplotypes confirms the phylogenetic closeness of sp. 4 (Lake Nachikinskoe), (Lake Dal'nee), and (Lake Elgygytgyn), and (NWT).
