Complete mitochondrial genome of the lemon damsel, (Perciformes, Pomacentridae).

Bleeker, 1853 (Pomacentridae) is a bright yellow damselfish. Here, we assembled a complete 16,801 bp genome for mitochondrion by employing the Illumina MiSeq platform. The complete mitochondrial genome contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and one putative control region. The overall genomic structure of mitochondrion was conserved with the gene arrangements of mitogenomes published in subfamily Pomacentrinae, and phylogenetic analysis confirmed the sister relationship among the genus , , and . This complete mitochondrial DNA information of will provide essential molecular reference to elucidate the geographical distribution, the phylogenetic relationship, and evolutionary history of the damselfish genus .
