title: Complete mitochondrial genome of the yellow-banded sweetlips Plectorhinchus lineatus (Perciformes: Haemulidae).
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of yellow-banded sweetlips Plectorhinchus lineatus was determined in this study. The genome was 16,548 bp in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and one non-coding control region. The overall base composition was estimated to be A, 28.2%; T, 24.8%; C, 30.7% and G, 16.2% with AT bias of 53.0%. All protein-coding genes used ATG as a start codon except for COI, which started with GTG. Six protein-coding genes ended with termination codon TAA, one ended with AGG, the remaining genes had incomplete stop codons TA or T. The genomic composition, organization, and gene order of P. lineatus was similar to most of vertebrates.
