title: The complete mitochondrial genome of the freshwater fish Galaxias platei and a comparison with other species of the genus Galaxias (faraway, so close?).
abstract: We present the whole mitochondrial genome for Galaxias platei, a freshwater fish widely distributed throughout the Patagonian Andes, and compare it with the mitochondrial genome of three congeneric species. The position of G. platei in the phylogenetic reconstruction differs from that shown by earlier studies using multiple markers. We discuss the results in terms of the phylogenetic position of G. platei and the use of whole mitochondrial genomes versus specific regions of multiple organelles.
