title: The complete mitochondrial genome of Sebastes koreanus (Scorpaeniformes, Scorpaenidae) from China.
abstract: In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Sebastes koreanus was determined by long PCR and primer walking methods. The complete mitochondrial genome is 17,606 bp in length and contains 37 mitochondrial genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 22 transfer RNA genes) as well as a control region (CR) as other bony fishes. The overall base composition of the S. koreanus mitogenome was estimated to be 28.56% for A, 27.77% for C, 16.83% for G and 26.85% for T, respectively, indicating an obvious anti-guanine bias. Twelve of the 13 mitochondrial protein-coding genes have an ATG start codon while COX1 had a GTG start codon; the incomplete stop codon (T/TA) was present in the COII, COIII, ND2, ND3, ND4 and Cytb genes. The complete mitogenome sequence of S. koreanus will contribute to molecular phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses of Sebastinae.
