title: The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Hemibagrus sp. (Siluriformes: Bagridae), molecular data for species identification.
abstract: In this study, we determined and described the complete mitogenome sequence of Hemibagrus sp. for the first time, which is 16,513 bp in length, and contains 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, 1 origin of replication on the light-strand (OL) and a putative control region. The overall base composition was 31.1% A, 26.9% T, 26.9% C, 15.1% G, with a slight AT bias (58.0%). All protein-coding genes shared the start codon ATG, except for COI, which began with GTG. The tRNA-Ser(UGC) couldn't be folded into the typical cloverleaf secondary structure because its dihydrouridine arm is replaced by a simple loop. These results are expected to provide useful molecular data for species identification and further phylogenetic studies of Bagridae and Siluriformes.
