The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of the Fivespot Flounder, Pseudorhombus pentophthalmus (Pleuronectiformes: Paralichthyidae), from Korea and Its Phylogenetic Analysis

The mitogenome is an important tool for researching the evolution of metazoan animals. However, until now, only few mitochondrial genes Pseudorhombus pentophthalmus have been reported. Here, we report complete P. pentophthalmus, assembled using Illumina platform. circular 16,684 bp in length, has a bias A+T content 52.78%, encodes 37 (13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA 2 rRNA genes), and control region. overall nucleotide composition was A: 26.56%, T: 26.22%, G: 17.97%, C: 29.25%. phylogenetic tree based on shown to be monophyletic with other species same branch as dupliciocellatus. This research might useful future studies population genetics analysis.
