title: The complete nucleotide sequence of white Amur bream (Parabramis pekinensis) mitochondrial genome.
abstract: White Amur bream, Parabramis pekinensis (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae), a freshwater cyprinid fish, is an important economic fish in several countries, especially in China. The complete sequence of P. pekinensis mitochondrial genome has been determined. The genome is 16,622 bp in length, and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and the noncoding control region, with the genomic organization being identical to that of typical vertebrates. Three conserved sequence blocks (CSB1 to CSB3) were identified in the control region. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence is useful for phylogenetic analysis and studies of population genetics of P. pekinensis.
