Mitochondrial genome of the spot-tail shark Carcharhinus sorrah (Carcharhiniformes: Carcharhinidae).

In this article, we first presented the complete mitogenome of the spot-tail shark Carcharhinus sorrah, which is a medium-sized shark distributed in the tropical Indo-Pacific and is currently listed as "Near Threatened" on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. The complete mitogenome of C. sorrah is 16,707 bp in length and contains typical 37 genes and one control region.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the mangrove whipray Himantura granulata (Myliobatiformes: Dasyatidae).

In this study, the complete mitogenome of mangrove whipray Himantura granulata was first determined. It is 17,657 bp in length and consists 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes and 1 putative control region with the typical gene arrangement and transcriptional orientation in vertebrates. Two start codon patterns and two stop codon patterns were found in the protein-coding genes.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the scalloped hammerhead Sphyrna lewini (Carcharhiniformes: Sphyrnidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome of the endangered scalloped hammerhead Sphyrna lewini was firstly determined in this study. It is 16,726 bp in length with the typical gene composition and orders in vertebrates. The overall base composition is 31.
