title: The complete mitochondrial genome of rainbow barbel Acrossocheilus barbodon (Nichols and Pope) (Teleostei, Cyprinidae, Barbinae).
abstract: In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of rainbow barbel Acrossocheilus barbodon has been amplified and sequenced by employing long polymerase chain reaction method. The mitogenome, consisting of 16,596 base pairs (bp), had the typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs genes and a noncoding control region (CR). CR of 934 bp length is located between tRNAPro and tRNAPhe. The overall base composition of A. hemispinus is 31.5% for A, 28.2% for C, 24.4% for T and 15.9 % for G, with a higher AC content of 55.9%. The complete mitogenome may provide very essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogenetic analysis for not only congeneric species but also higher different taxa of Cyprinid fishes.
