The complete mitochondrial genome of Pethia padamya (Actinopteri, Cyprinidae).

ABSTRACT: Pethia padamya (Kullander and Britz, 2008) is a freshwater fish distributed in the Mekong River basin of Thailand. It has beautiful colors and can be used as an ornamental fish. The complete mitochondrial genome of P. padamya was determined using next-generation sequencing technology and its characteristics were analyzed. The mitochondrial genome is a closed circular molecule comprising 16,792 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a major non-coding region. The overall base composition of the mitochondrial genome is 32.47% A, 25.39% C, 26.08% T, and 16.06% G, with a high A + T bias of 58.55%. Phylogenetic analysis revealed P. padamya as a sister group of Pethia conchonius+(Pethia ticto+Pethia cumingii) and Pethia gelius with maximal support, providing support for the monophyly of the genus Pethia based on concatenated nucleotide sequences. The results of this study proved the monophyly of the genus Pethia. These data for the first time provide information on the complete mitochondrial genome of P. padamya and can contribute to further studies on the biodiversity and management of P. padamya.
