The mitochondrial genome of the Chinese bitterling Rhodeus sinesis is a circular molecule of 16,677 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and two main non-coding regions (the control region and the origin of the light strand replication). The gene composition and order of which were similar to most other vertebrates. All protein-coding genes are initiated with ATG except for COX 1, which begin with GTG instead. However, the termination codons of 13 protein-coding genes are varied with TAA, TA, T or TAG. The molecular data we presented here could provide useful information for the studies on species identification, evolutionary relationships and population genetics of the Acheilognathinae.
中华鳑鲏（Rhodeus sinesis）的线粒体基因组是一个长度为16,677 bp的环状分子，包含13个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA基因、两个核糖体RNA基因和两个主要的非编码区（控制区和轻链复制起点）。其基因组成和顺序与大多数其他脊椎动物相似。除COX 1以GTG起始外，所有蛋白质编码基因均以ATG起始。然而，13个蛋白质编码基因的终止密码子有所不同，分别为TAA、TA、T或TAG。我们在此呈现的分子数据可为鳑鲏亚科的物种鉴定、进化关系和群体遗传学研究提供有用信息。
