title: Complete mitochondrial genome of the Amur stickleback Pungitius sinensis (Gasterosteiformes, Gasterosteidae).
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced from the Amur stickleback Pungitius sinensis. The genome sequence was 16,581 bp in size, and the gene order and contents were identical with those of previously reported fish mitochondrial genomes. Of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), four genes (ND2, CO2, ND4, Cytb) had incomplete stop codons. The base composition of P. sinensis showed anti-G bias (9.53%) on the third position of PCGs.
