Article: Complete mitochondrial genome of the Greek nine-spined stickleback (Gasterosteiformes, Gasterosteidae)

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Greek nine-spined stickleback was obtained using Illumina high-throughput sequencing of genomic DNA. The genome was 16 713 bp long, and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and a control region. The arrangement of the genes was identical to that of other Gasterosteidae fishes. However, the control region of contained three copies of imperfect repeated sequences (72-78 bp in single motifs), while and have one or two copies. Nucleotide identity between and three other species across all the 37 genic regions was 93.0% to 95.5%.
