title: The complete mitochondrial genome of Boeseman's rainbowfish (Melanotaenia boesemani Allen & Cross, 1980).
abstract: In this study, the mitochondrial genome of Melanotaenia boesemani (Allen & Cross, 1980 ) (Atheriniformes: Melanotaeniidae) was sequenced for the first time. The assembled mitogenome consisting of 16 493 bp, includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs genes and 1 putative control region. The overall base composition of M. boesemani is 27.88% for A, 29.92% for C, 15.74% for G, 26.47% for T and shows 96% identities to Lake Kutubu rainbowfish, Melanotaenia lacustris. These data would provide useful molecular information for phylogenetic relationships within the family Melanotaeniidae species.
