Based on the mitochondrial genome sequences of 28 Sicydiinae species published in GenBank and mitochondrial protein-coding genes (PCGs), (Gobionellinae) was selected as an outgroup to construct phylogenetic trees of Sicydiinae using the maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods.

Comparative Analysis and Phylogenetic Study of and Mitochondrial Genomes.

Smiliogastrinae are recognized for their high nutritional and ornamental value. In this study, we employed high-throughput sequencing technology to acquire the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of and . The gene composition and arrangement order in these species were similar to those of typical vertebrates, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 1 non-coding region.

DNA barcoding of (Scombridae, Actinopterygii) reveals cryptic diversity and misidentifications.

The genus is economically important; however, the taxonomic status and phylogenetic relationships in this genus are not clearly resolved, making it difficult to effectively protect and exploit fish resources. To clarify the taxonomic status of species, mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene sequences of 150 samples were analyzed. The average genetic distance among 14 species was approximately 11 times greater than the distances within species, in accordance with the '10× rule' of species identification.

Mitogenome of a monotypic genus, Oliotius Kottelat, 2013 (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae): Genomic characterization and phylogenetic position.

We examined the evolutionary status of the genus Oliotius Kottelat, 2013, clarified the mitogenome structure of Smiliogastrinae, and analyzed its phylogenetic information to provide a reference for the taxonomy, evolutionary genetics, and germplasm identification of Smiliogastrinae.
