title: The complete mitochondrial genome of the tessellated leatherjacket Thamnaconus tessellatus (Tetraodontiformes: Monacanthidae).
abstract: The long PCR and primer walking methods were applied for obtaining the complete mitochondrial genome of the tessellated leatherjacket Thamnaconus tessellatus. The complete mitochondrial genome was 16,437 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, an origin of L-strand replication and a control region. The arrangements and characteristics of these segments shared common features with other teleosts. Extended termination associated sequence domain (TAS, cTAS), central conserved sequence block domain (CSB-F, CSB-E, CSB-D) and conserved sequence block domain (CSB-1, CSB-2, CSB-3) were identified in the control region.
