TY - JOUR AU - Yue, Gen Hua AU - Liew, Woei Chang AU - Orban, Laszlo PY - 2006 DA - 2006/09/21 TI - The complete mitochondrial genome of a basal teleost, the Asian arowana (Scleropages formosus, Osteoglossidae) JO - BMC Genomics SP - 242 VL - 7 IS - 1 AB - Mitochondrial DNA-derived sequences have become popular markers for evolutionary studies, as their comparison may yield significant insights into the evolution of both the organisms and their genomes. From the more than 24,000 teleost species, only 254 complete mtDNA sequences are available (GenBank status on 06 Sep 2006). In this paper, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Asian arowana, a basal bonytongue fish species, which belongs to the order of Osteoglossiformes.
