Sequence identification and phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial genome of Microphysogobio kiatingensis (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae).

ABSTRACT: Microphysogobio kiatingensis is endemic freshwater fish of China and mainly distributed in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The complete mitogenome of M. kiatingensis was first determined by using the next-generation sequencing in present study. The circular mitogenome followed the expected pattern for vertebrates, being 16,603 bp in length. It contained 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, one displacement loop (D-loop) locus and an origin of replication on the light-strand (OL). Most of the genes are encoded on the heavy strand except ND6 and eight tRNA genes. The overall base composition was 30.78% A, 26.09% T, 26.59% C, 16.54% G, with 56.87% AT. Thirteen intergenic spacers and nine gene overlaps exist in the complete m
