The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Nemateleotris decora (gobiiformes, gobiidae)

We determined the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Nemateleotris decora by using a long polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and next-generation sequence (NGS) technology. The total length of N. decora mitogenome is 16 502 bp, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs genes, and a non-coding control region. The overall base composition of N. decora is 25.22% for A, 25.90% for T, 30.69% for G, and 18.19% for C. Our results showed the complete mitogenome is a good marker for the phylogenetic study.
