The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of the Freshwater Fish Onychostoma ovale (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae): Genome Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we sequenced and characterized the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Onychostoma ovale. The mitogenome of O. ovale was 16,602 bp in length with 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and a control region. The nucleotide composition of the O. ovale mitogenome was 31.47% A, 24.07% T, 15.92% G, and 28.54% C, with a higher A + T content (55.54%) than G + C content (44.46%). All PCGs began with the standard ATG codon, except for the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COX1) gene and the NADH dehydrogenase 3 (ND3) gene with GTG, while six PCGs ended with incomplete termination codons (TA or T). The Ka/Ks ratios of 13 PCGs were all less than one, indicating that they were under purifying
