The complete mitochondrial genome sequence ofSarcocheilichthys sinensis sinensis(Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae)

We determined the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Sarcocheilichthys nigripinnis by using long polymerase chain reaction method. The total length of S. nigripinnis mitogenome is 16,680 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and a noncoding control region. The overall base composition of S. nigripinnis is 26.36% for T, 26.67% for C, 30.07% for A, and 16.90% for G, with a slight AT bias of 56.43%.
