title: Complete mitochondrial genome of Schizopygopsis malacanthus (Teleostei: Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae).
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of Schizopygopsis malacanthus is a circular molecule of 16,677 bp in size, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and 2 main non-coding regions (the control region and the origin of the light strand replication). Most of the genes are encoded on the heavy strand, except for ND6 and eight tRNAs. The control region is 938 bp in length and located between the tRNA(Pro) and tRNA(Phe) genes, some typical conserved elements (TAS, CSB1-3 and CSB D-F) were found in this region. All these features reflect a typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement of the S. malacanthus.
