Complete mitochondrial genome and the phylogenetic position of the Jenkins whipray Himantura jenkinsii (Myliobatiformes, Dasyatidae)

We determined the complete mitochondrial genome of the Jenkins whipray Himantura jenkinsii. The total length of the mitogenome was 17, 670 bp, consisted of 37 genes with typical gene order in vertebrate mitogenome. The nucleotide composition was: 30.5% A, 29.1% T, 26.5% C and 13.9% G. It had 70 bp s...

Summary:We determined the complete mitochondrial genome of the Jenkins whipray Himantura jenkinsii. The total length of the mitogenome was 17, 670 bp, consisted of 37 genes with typical gene order in vertebrate mitogenome. The nucleotide composition was: 30.5% A, 29.1% T, 26.5% C and 13.9% G. It had 70 bp short intergenic spaces and 22 bp overlaps. Two start codons (GTG and ATG) and two stop codons (TAG and TAA/T) were used in the protein-coding genes. The 22 tRNA genes were ranged from 67 bp (tRNA-Ser2) to 75 bp (tRNA-Leu1). The phylogenetic result showed that H. jenkinsii was clustered with the Hortle's whipray H. hortlei.
