The complete mitochondrial genome of the Korean minnow Nipponocypris koreanus (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae).
The complete mitochondrial genome of the Korean minnow Nipponocypris koreanus (Kim et al., 2005) which is endemic to Korean Peninsula has been amplified and sequenced in this study. The complete mitochondrial genome is 16,615 base pairs (bp) in total length, had the typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, 1 control region (CR) and 1 light-strand replication origin (OL). The overall base composition of N. koreanus is 30.0% for A, 26.8% for T, 26.1% for C, 17.1% for G, with higher AT content 56.8%. This study will be rather beneficial for understanding the phylogenetic approach of Nipponocypris species and other related genera of cyprinid fishes.
