The present study reported the complete mitochondrial genome of Alticorpus geoffreyi for the first time. The mitochondrial genome of A. geoffreyi possesses 16,578 bp in length, involving 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA, 13 protein-coding genes and one control region. In addition, its GC content is 45.82% that is similar to that of Astatotilapia calliptera (the GC content of 45.90%). Based on the complete mitochondrial genomes of 14 closely related species, the phylogenetic tree was further made to show their phylogenic relationship. The results will serve as a useful dataset for studying the evolution of Cichlidae mitochondrial genome. |
