title: Complete mitogenome sequences of a Korean spine loach, Iksookimia koreensis (Kim, 1975).
abstract: Here, we present the complete mitogenome sequences from a Korean spine loach (Iksookimia koreensis Kim 1975), an endemic species of Korea. The total length of mitogenome was 16 563 bp, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and one control region (D-loop). Except for ND6 and eight tRNA genes, all of the other mitochondrial genes were encoded on the heavy strand. The control region harbored conserved sequence blocks (CSB-D, E, F, CSB-1, CBS-2 and CBS-3) and TA-nucleotide microsatellite repeats in its 3' end. Our complete mitogenomes will be valuable resources for phylogeny, genetics and conservation of the genus Iksookimia.
