Sequence characterization and phylogenetic analysis of mitogenome of the Acanthorhodeus chankaensis Dybowsky from Cao’e River

Abstract

In the present study, the complete mitogenome sequence of a Acanthorhodeus chankaensis Dybowsky from Cao’e River was sequenced and identified. The assembled mitogenome of A. chankaensis is 16,676 bp in length, it contains 22 transfer-RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal-RNA genes, and 2 non-coding regions. It shows conserved gene arrangement with other Cyprinidae fishes. The overall nucleotide composition of A. chankaensis mitogenome sequence is A: 28.96%, G: 17.11%, T: 27.46%, and C: 26.47%. The phylogenetic analysis showed that the complete mitogenome could contribute to the phylogenetic analyses and population genetics study of A. chankaensis and Acanthorhodeus fish.
