The complete mitochondrial DNA of white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) from Isla Guadalupe, Mexico.

The Isla Guadalupe white shark mitochondrial structure is similar to the one previously reported for a white shark individual from Taiwan with a total length of 16,745 and 16,742 bp respectively; the base composition of the genomes was as follow A (30.60%), T (28.67%), C (26.86%) and G (13.87%), contains 13 protein-coding genes and 24 tRNA genes and the non-coding control region. The tRNA genes range from 70-72 bp. Gene order is the same as in other vertebrates and teleosts.
