The complete mitochondrial genomes of Parabotia lijiangensis (Cypriniformes: Botiidae)

Abstract

In this study, we obtained the 16,579 base pair (bp) mitochondrial DNA sequence of Parabotia lijiangensis. The mitogenome encodes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, a control region, and has a nucleotide composition of A: 30.8%, T: 25.2%, G: 16.1%, and C: 27.9% (AT content: 56.0%). The complete mitogenome of P. lijiangensis provides essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis of the Botiidae family.
