title: The complete mitochondrial genome of the Hemibarbus medius (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae).
abstract: We present the complete mitochondrial genome of the Hemibarbus medius in this study. The mitochondrial genome is 16,611 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a control region. The nucleotide compositions of the light strand are 29.82% of A, 27.22% of C, 25.93% of T, and 17.04% of G. With the exception of ND6 and eight tRNA genes, all other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand. All the protein-coding genes begin with an ATG initiation codon except for COXІ with GTG. Four types of termination codons revealed are TAA (ND1, COXІ, ATP8, ND4L, ND5), T (ND2, ND3, COXП, COXШ, CYTB), TA (ND4, ATP6), and TAG (ND6). Most genes are either abutted or overlapped and many features keep consistent with the other vertebrates.
