Myoxocephalus quadricornis Genome sequencing
Triglopsis quadricornis Linnaeus, 1758 (Cottidae) has four unique bony protuberances on its head. Here, we report the complete, circular, and annotated mitochondrial genome of T. quadricornis. The complete T. quadricornis mitochondrion was sequenced by high-throughput Illumina HiSeq platform. The sequences are 16,736 bp in size and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, a control region, and large and small ribosomal subunits. The overall genomic structure of T. quadricornis mitochondrion was conserved with the gene arrangement of Megalocottus and Myoxocephalus species, and phylogenetic analysis supports their sister relationships. This complete mitochondrial DNA information of T. quadricornis will provide an essential genomic resource to elucidate the phylogenetic relationship and evolutionary history of the family Cottidae.
