Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016;27(2):1056-7. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2014.928865. Epub 2014 Jun 24.

Abstract

Sarcocheilichthys sinensis sinensis (Bleeker, 1871), is a small benthopelagic freshwater species with high nutritional and ornamental value. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of S. sinensis sinensis was determined; the phylogenetic analysis with another individual and closely related species of Sarcocheilichthys fishes was carried out. The complete mitogenome of S. sinensis sinensis was 16683 bp in length, consist of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and 2 non-coding regions: (D-loop and OL). It indicated that D-loop, ND2, and CytB may be appropriate molecular markers for studying population genetics and conservation biology of Sarcocheilichthys fishes.

Keywords: Genetics; Sarcocheilichthys sinensis sinensis; mitogenome; sequencing.
