Complete mitochondrial genome of the Chinese bitterling Acheilognathus macropterus (Cypriniformes: cyprinidae).
Acheilognathus macropterus belongs to the family Acheilognathinae. In the present study, we obtain the complete mitochondrial genome of the Chinese bitterling A. macropterus by PCR amplification and DNA sequencing. It is a circular double-stranded DNA molecule of 16,773 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and two main non-coding regions (the control region and the origin of the light strand replication). The gene composition and order of which are similar to most other vertebrates. Compared with Acanthorhodeus macropterus, they share 98.90% nucleotide sequences similarity, and the biggest nucleotide sequence discrepancy between homologous genes are observed in ND5 gene. The molecular data we presented here could provide useful information for the studies on species identification, evolutionary relationships and population genetics of the Acheilognathinae.
