Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of Yunnanilus pulcherrimus (Cypriniformes, Nemacheilidae)

Abstract

Yunnanilus pulcherrimus belongs to the genus Yunnanilus within the subfamily Nemacheilidae, endemic to Guangxi province, Southwestern China. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of Y. pulcherrimus and submitted the genome into GenBank with accession number MK387705. The complete mitochondrial genome is 16,573 bp in length, consisting of 37 genes coding for 13 proteins, two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and one control region. Phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial genomes of 16 species showed that Y. pulcherrimus was first grouped with micronemacheilus cruciatus as a monophyletic clade, but not including Y. jinxiensis.
