The complete mitochondrial genome of Parabramis pekinensis (Teleostei: Cypriniformes) and its phylogenetic position

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Parabramis pekinensis was determined in this study. It contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA, two rRNAs, and a control region with the base composition 31.11% A, 27.80% C, 24.81% T, and 16.27% G. Here, we compared this newly determined mitogenome with another one from the same species reported before. The variable sites and the genetic distances between the two mitogenomes were 96 bp and 0.6%. Eight-three variable sites were occurred in the PCGs. The results from the phylogenetic analysis showed that P. pekinensis is close to Megalobrama terminalis.
