title: Complete mitochodrial genome of Elopichthys bambusa (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae).
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of Elopichthys bambusa was determined in this study. The gene composition, arrangement and transcriptional orientation in E. bambusa mitogenome were identical to most vertebrates. Two start codon patterns (ATG and GTG) and three stop codon patterns (TAG, TAA and T) were found in protein-coding genes. Only the tRNA-Ser2 could not fold into a typical clover-leaf secondary structure for lacking the dihydrouridine arm. Sequences alignment results suggest that the complete mitogenome of E. bambusa is an efficient tool to check species identification by comparing different gene sequences.
