Mitogenome of Gymnothorax minor and phylogenetic relationship with its congeners and related genera (Anguilliformes: Muraenidae)

Gymnothorax minor is a moray eel of the family Muraenidae found in the Western Pacific Ocean. We report here its complete mitogenome as determined by Illumina next-generation sequencing and the phylogenetic relationship with its congeners and other taxa of the family Muraenidae. The whole mitogenome...
