Salvelinus boganidae and Salvelinus elgyticus Mitochondrial Libraries were prepared using an Ion Plus Fragment Library Kit and unique adapters (Ion Xpress), and preliminary fragmentation of PCR products was performed on a Covaris M220 ultrasonicator. Libraries were sequenced on the Ion S5 platform (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Clean reads were assembled into contig with the Bowtie2 algorithm in Geneious R11
Mitogenome of S. taranezi was used as a reference for correct contig position and orientation
16,654 b.p. for s. elgyticus and 16,655 b.p. for s. boganidae. The gene arrangement, composition, and size are similar to s. Taranezi
The genomic organization is identical to typical salmon mitogenomes, including two rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, a light chain origin of replication (OL), and a control region (CR).
