title: The complete mitochondrial genome of the ratmouth barbell, Ptychidio jordani (Cypriniformes Cyprnidae).
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of an endemic fish Ptychidio jordani is a circular molecular of 16,602 bp in size, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and a non-coding control region. Most of the genes are encoded on the heavy strand, expect for ND6 and eight tRNAs. The control region is 940 bp in length and is located between the tRNA(Pro) and tRNA(Phe) genes. Of 13 PCGs, 7 genes (ND2, COII, ATPase 6, COIII, ND3, ND4, Cytb) had an incomplete stop codon. The complete mtDNA genome sequence obtained in this study would be useful for studying genetic diversity and phylogenetics in Ptychidio jordani and related taxa in future.
