Identification and phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial genome of Hemibarbus labeo BML (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Hemibarbus labeo BML (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae) is 16,612 bases in length. It consists of 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 1 non-coding region. Its overall nucleotide composition is A: 29.85%, G: 17.07%, T: 25.86%, and C: 27.23%, respectively, with an A + T rich feature (55.71%). The gene arrangement and organization of the mitogenome from H. labeo BML were very similar to other Cyprinidae fishes. The phylogenetic analysis showed that H. labeo BML clustered in genus Hemibarbus. These results will contribute to the taxonomy and conservation biology studies of H. labeo.
