Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Garra motuoensis (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae) and its phylogenetic position within genus Garra
Abstract
Garra motuoensis, an endemic labeonine fish, was reported distributed in the lower Yarlung Tsangpo River drainage with little published biological information. Herein, we sequenced and characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of G. motuoensis, which was 16,806 bp in length, containing 13 PCGs, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, one light strand replication origin (OL), one control region (D-loop), and one replication region. Phylogenetic analysis based on 13 PCGs sequences revealed that G. motuoensis had a closest relationship with G. qiaojiensis. Then, both species clustered with other species of Garra, and next grouped with other genera of subfamily Labeoninae.
