Complete mitochondrial genome of the striped bittering Acheilognathus yamatsutae (Cypriniformes; Cyprinidae).

ABSTRACT

The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced from the striped bittering Acheilognathus yamatsutae. The genome sequence was 16,703 bp in size, and the gene order and contents were identical tot those of the congeneric species Acheilognathus signifer and other previously reported fish mitochondrial genomes. Of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), three genes (CO(2), CO(3), and Cytb) had incomplete stop codons. The base composition of A. yamatsutae showed anti-G bias (13.50% and 9.72%) on the 2nd and 3rd position of PCGs.
