The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Poecilia formosa is first reported in this study. The length of genome is 16 550 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 22 transfer RNA genes. Congeneric mitogenome sequence identity is 87.7% with P. reticulate and 93.1% with P. sphenops. The reconstructed phylogenetic relationships of 16 Cyprinodontiformes species based on 13 protein-coding genes were highly supported and the clade of all Poecilia fishes included had a support value of 100%. Our results shall provide a better understanding in the evolutionary histories of the Cyprinodontiformes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D011036 Poecilia A genus of livebearing cyprinodont fish comprising the guppy and molly. Some species are virtually all female and depend on sperm from other species to stimulate egg development. Poecilia is used in carcinogenicity studies as well as neurologic and physiologic research. Guppy,Lebistes,Molly,Guppies,Mollies,Poecilias
D003532 Cyprinodontiformes An order of fish with eight families and numerous species of both egg-laying and livebearing fish. Families include Cyprinodontidae (egg-laying KILLIFISHES;), FUNDULIDAEl; (topminnows), Goodeidae (Mexican livebearers), Jenynsiidae (jenynsiids), Poeciliidae (livebearers), Profundulidae (Middle American killifishes), Aplocheilidae, and Rivulidae (rivulines). In the family Poeciliidae, the guppy and molly belong to the genus POECILIA. Gambusia,Mosquito Fish,Platyfish,Xiphophorus,Fish, Mosquito,Gambusias
