title: The complete mitogenome of Gnathopogon polytaenia (Cypriniformes; Cyprinidae).
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced from one of the endemic freshewater gudgeons (Gnathopogon polytaenia) in China. The mitochondrial genome sequence was 16,594 bp in size, and the gene order and contents were identical with the congeneric species G. strigatus and G. elongatus. Six genes (COII, ATP6, COIII, ND3, ND4, Cytb) had an incomplete stop codon. Base composition of the genome is A (29.1%), T (26.9%), C (25.9%) and G (18.1%) with an A + T rich feature (56%) as that of other vertebrate mitochondrial genomes.
