Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae).

is a freshwater cyprinid fish of high nutritional value, endemic to Shilin County, Southwestern China. In this study, we first sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of . The whole length of mitogenome is 16,585 bp, which contains 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region. The gene arrangement and structure is identical to other previously reported fishes. The overall base composition is 31.26% A, 16.42% G, 25.41% T and 26.90% C, with AT content of 56.67%. Phylogenetic analysis using mitogenomes of 13 cyprinid fishes showed that are closely related to , , and , and 11 species are grouped as a monophyletic clade with strong supports.
