Molecular Genetic Variations in Mitochondrial Control Region Among Some Species of Family Labridae
The current study aimed to amplify and analyze the sequences of the tRNA-Thr (trnT) gene, tRNA-Pro (trnP) gene, and the control region in five species of the family Labridae: Cheilinus lunulatus, Cheilinus abudjubbe, Hemigymnus fasciatus, Hemigymnus melapterus, and Thalassoma rueppellii. The resulting sequences from these five labrid species were submitted to GenBank/NCBI under accession numbers PP723722–PP723726. The average nucleotide frequencies of adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G) in the partial sequence of the trnT gene were 16.35%, 30.77%, 33.65%, and 19.23%, respectively. In the complete sequence of the trnP gene, the nucleotide frequencies were 33.33%, 27.35%, 25.64%, and 13.68%, respectively. For the complete sequence of the control region, the frequencies were 32.27%, 28.72%, 23.81%, and 15.2%, respectively.
