title: The complete nucleotide sequence of Malabar grouper (Epinephelus malabaricus) mitochondrial genome.
abstract: In this study, we reported the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the Epinephelus malabaricus. The full-length of the mitochondrial genome consisted of a 16,423 bp fragment, with the base composition of A (28.70%), T (26.55%), G (15.92%) and C (28.83%). It contained 2 rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes and a major non-coding control region (D-loop region). The composition and order of these genes were identical to most of other vertebrates. All the protein initiation codons were ATG, except that COX1 began with GTG, ATP-6 and ND6 was not determined, respectively. The complete mitogenome of the Epinephelus malabaricus provided an important data set for the study in genetic mechanism of the hybridization.
