Determination and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of (Cypriniformes: Danionidae: Chedrinae).

Cyprinid fish found in the Irrawaddy water system is a valuable fishery resource and has been listed as Least Concern by the IUCN. This study determined the complete mitochondrial genome of from Yunnan, China, for the first time. Circular molecule of mitogenome was sequenced to be 16,560 bp in length, with the typical gene structure of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and two noncoding areas (control region and the origin of L-strand replication). Overall nucleotides composition appeared to be 27.5% A, 24.8% T, 19.2% G, and 28.6% C, with a slight AT (52.3%) bias. The topology of the phylogenetic tree showed that was well grouped with and clustered together with the genus instead of revealing that it was more reasonable for to belong to rather than .
