Data from: Two complete mitochondrial genome sequences of white-spotted char Salvelinus leucomaenis (Salmoniformes: Salmonidae)

<p>Results of the analysis of the complete mitochondrial genomes of <em>Salvelinus</em> (Salmonidae) species for evidence of recombination using various recombination detection methods implemented in the Recombination Detection Program (RDP4) (Martin et al., 2010).</p> <p>The comparison of KF974451–KF974452 sequences of mitochondrial genome of white-spotted char <em>S. leucomaenis</em> (Shedko, 2014) and KF513161 sequence of mitochondrial genome of <em>S. leucomaenis</em> (Zhang et al., 2013) as well as NC_000860 (<em>S. fontinalis</em>), NC_000861 (<em>S. alpinus</em>) and KC897653 (<em>Parahucho perryi</em>) sequences by using the RDP4 software (Martin et al., 2010) revealed that the KF513161 sequence is a combination of sequences from two distinct (4.9% divergence) mitochondrial DNA lineages – lineage of <em>S. fontinalis</em>, represented by NC_000860 sequence (positions 1000–15,359 and 15,869–16,337 in KF513161 sequence; 0.2% divergence) and white-spotted char, represented by the KF974451 and KF974452 sequences (positions 15,360–15,868 and 16,338–999 in KF513161 sequence; 0.6–1.0% divergence).</p
