Figure 1

Gene content and organization of halibut mitochondrial genomes. Circular gene map representing the mtDNAs of Atlantic-, Pacific-, and Greenland halibuts. All genes, except ND6 and eight of the transfer RNA genes (indicated by the standard one-letter symbols for amino acids), are encoded by the H-strand. Protein genes and ribosomal RNA genes are indicated by blue and yellow boxes, respectively. The tRNA genes are indicated by red bars, and the control regions in grey boxes. Abbreviations: SSU and LSU, mitochondrial small- and large-subunit ribosomal RNA genes; ND1-6, NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 to 6; COI-III, cytochrome c oxidase subunit I to III; A6 and A8, ATPase subunit 6 and 8; Cyt b, cytochrome b; oriH and oriL, origin of H-strand and L-strand replication; CR, control region containing the D-loop. The mitochondrial genome sizes of the 12 sequenced specimens, representing three different halibut species, are indicated below the map.
