Identification and phylogenetic analysis of the mitogenome from Acrossocheilus wenchowensis

Abstract

In the present study, the complete mitogenome sequence of Acrossocheilus wenchowensis was obtained using PCR amplification. The complete mitochondrial genome of A. wenchowensis was 16,591 bp in length, it contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and one non-coding region. The gene arrangement and organization in the mitogenome of A. wenchowensis were consistent with other Cyprinidae fishes. The phylogenetic analysis was carried out, and the results showed that the mitogenome sequence could be useful data in the field of population genetics and conservation biology for A. wenchowensis and other Cyprinidae fishes.
