Abstract
The family Syngnathidae includes seahorses, sea dragons, and pipefishes. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genome of the belly pipefish, Hippichthys heptagonus Bleeker, 1849. The genome is 16,646-bp long, and includes the standard complement for bony fishes of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a control region, in the same order and strand distribution as other syngnathids. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analysis of 58 complete mtDNA protein-coding sequences from 18 genera of Syngnathidae supports the inclusion of H. heptagonus with Phoxocampus in the tribe Leptonotini of the Syngnathinae, monophyly of the Nerophinae and Syngnathinae, and within the latter monophyly of the tribes Haliichthytini, Hippocampini, Leptonotini, Solegnathini, and Syngnathini. This is the first comprehensive mtDNA genome-based phylogenetic analysis of the evolutionary and systematic relationships within Syngnathidae.
期刊介绍：
The journal retains its traditional interest in evolutionary research that is of relevance to geneticists, even if this is not explicitly genetical in nature. The journal covers all areas of genetics and evolution,including molecular genetics and molecular evolution.It publishes papers and review articles on current topics, commentaries and essayson ideas and trends in genetics and evolutionary biology, historical developments, debates and book reviews. From 2010 onwards, the journal has published a special category of papers termed ‘Online Resources’. These are brief reports on the development and the routine use of molecular markers for assessing genetic variability within and among species. Also published are reports outlining pedagogical approaches in genetics teaching.
