The complete mitochondrial genome of the crucian carp, Carassius carassius (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae).
The complete mitochondrial genome of Carassius carassius was determined to be 16,597 bp long circular molecule with a typical gene arrangement of vertebrate mitochondrial DNA. Its control region contains two copies of unit (TTCYCAATATAA) at 3' ends, which has never been reported before for Carassius species. Phylogenetic trees based on 12 protein-coding genes on heavy strand confirmed that the complete mtDNA sequence of crucian carp was reported in this study for the first time.
