Gymnodiptychus pachycheilus, an endangered cold-water fish belonging to the specialized schizothoracins, is distributed in plateau lakes and the upper reaches of the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers on the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China. In this study, we determined the complete mitogenome sequence of G. pachycheilus. Its complete mitochondrial genome is 16,675 bp in size, and includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 1 control region, which has identical genomic organization and structure to other vertebrates, with the exception of 86 bp non-coding region between tRNA(Thr) and tRNA(Pro). This new complete mitogenome could provide useful data for further studies on stock evaluation and conservation genetics of this species.
厚唇裸重唇鱼是一种濒危的冷水鱼类，属于特化的裂腹鱼亚科，分布于中国青藏高原东北部的高原湖泊以及黄河和长江的上游。在本研究中，我们测定了厚唇裸重唇鱼的完整线粒体基因组序列。其完整线粒体基因组大小为16,675 bp，包括13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA基因、2个rRNA基因和1个控制区，除了tRNA(Thr)和tRNA(Pro)之间有86 bp的非编码区外，其基因组组织和结构与其他脊椎动物相同。这个新的完整线粒体基因组可为该物种的种群评估和保护遗传学的进一步研究提供有用的数据。
