title: The complete mitochondrial genome of Gymnodiptychus pachycheilus (Teleostei, Cyprinidae, Schizothoracinae).
abstract: Gymnodiptychus pachycheilus, an endangered cold-water fish belonging to the specialized schizothoracins, is distributed in plateau lakes and the upper reaches of the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers on the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China. In this study, we determined the complete mitogenome sequence of G. pachycheilus. Its complete mitochondrial genome is 16,675 bp in size, and includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 1 control region, which has identical genomic organization and structure to other vertebrates, with the exception of 86 bp non-coding region between tRNA(Thr) and tRNA(Pro). This new complete mitogenome could provide useful data for further studies on stock evaluation and conservation genetics of this species.
