Complete mitochondrial genome of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau endemic fish, Discogobio macrophysallidos, in China

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Discogobio macrophysallidos was first determined and analyzed in this work. Its mitochondrial genome is 16,593 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and a non-coding control region, and its gene order was consistent with other fishes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that D. macrophysallidos were clustered with other three species of Discogobio. The complete mitogenome of D. macrophysallidos provides new molecular data for the further phylogenetic study of the genus of Discogobio.
