The complete mitochondrial DNA of Gymnocypris potanini Herzensten and comparative mitogenomic analyses in Gymnocypris species.

ABSTRACT: In the study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Gymnocypris potanini Herzensten was sequenced and compared with other Gymnocypris species. The mitochondrial genome, consisting of 16,749 base pairs (bp), encoded 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a noncoding control region, similar as that found in other Gymnocypris species. These results can provide useful information for further studies on taxonomic status, molecular systematics, and stock evaluation.
