title: Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Gymnocypris namensis (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae).
abstract: The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of Gymnocypris namensis was determined and analyzed. The mitogenome of G. namensis is 16,674 bp long, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and two non-coding regions: control region (D-loop) and origin of light-strand replication (OL). The gene order of G. namensis mitogenome is identical to that observed in most other vertebrates. The complete mitogenome sequence information of G. namensis can provide useful data for further studies on molecular systematics, taxonomic status, stock evaluation and conservation genetics.
