AI Article Synopsis
- The grass emperor is a coral reef fish that's important for fisheries but is at risk due to overharvesting.
- Researchers assembled its complete mitochondrial genome, which is 16,758 base pairs long, using data from Illumina MiSeq.
- The genome includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes, showing similarities with other Teleosts, and a phylogenetic tree was created to confirm its genetic relationships with related species.
Article Abstract
The grass emperor is a coral reef fish that has high value to fisheries and is vulnerable to overharvesting. The complete mitochondrial genome was assembled from approximately 5.5 million reads produced by Illumina MiSeq. The 16,758 bp consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and two ribosomal RNA genes (12S and 16S). The genes and RNAs order and orientation on as well as the A + T base content (50.7%) was similar to what is found in other Teleosts. A phylogenetic tree with the most closely related species available in GenBank was built to validate mitogenome.
