title: Complete mitochondrial genome of Pareuchiloglanis sinensis (Siluriformes: Sisoridae).
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of Pareuchiloglanis sinensis, an endemic Chinese sisorid fish, was determined by DNA sequencing based on the PCR fragments. The complete mtDNA genome sequence of P. sinensis is 16,593 bp in length, with a gene content of 13 protein-coding, 2 ribosomal RNA, and 22 transfer RNA genes, and a typical gene arrangement identical to many other reported fishes. The overall base composition of the heavy strand was 30.6% A, 24.2% T, 16.0% G and 29.2% C, with a relatively high A + T content (54.8%). This will provide a useful tool for understanding the genetic diversity, population structure and conservation status of P. sinensis in future.
