Mitochondrial DNA sequence of Pseudorasbora parva (Cyprinidae: Gobioninae).

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Pseudorasbora parva (Cyprinidae: Gobioninae) was determined. The circular mtDNA molecule was 16,601 bp in length which contains 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and non-coding control region (D-loop). The critical central conserved sequences were also detected. Its total A + T content is 55.97%. The mitochondrial genome can contribute to the studies on geographical distribution and genetic diversity of P. parva resources, as well as molecular phylogeny and species identification in Cyprinidae.
