title: Complete mitochondrial genome of the Chinese balitorine loach, Metahomaloptera omeiensis (Teleostei, Cypriniformes).
abstract: The Metahomaloptera omeiensis is the only one species within the genus, Metahomaloptera. The complete mitochondrial genome of M. omeiensis was sequenced, which was 16,558 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 7 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and 1 control region. It has the typical circular molecule structure of vertebrate's mitochondrial genome. The whole base composition was estimated to be 29.44% A, 25.44% T, 28.28% C and 16.84% G with AT bias of 54.88%. The complete mitogenome of M. omeiensis provides the basis for genetic resources and phylogenetic analyses on this freshwater fish species.
