Complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the endangered Tarim schizothoracin (Schizothorax biddulphi Günther).
Tarim schizothoracin (Schizothorax biddulphi Günther) is an extremely endangered freshwater fish that thrives only in the Tarim River drainage in China. In this paper, we initially determined the complete mitochondrial genome of schizothoracin fishes. The mitochondrial genome of S. biddulphi was 16,585 bp long, which is similar to most vertebrates. It contains the same gene order and a similar number of gene or region including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 1 putative control region.
