Complete mitochondrial genome of the freshwater fish, Carassioides acuminatus (Cypriniformes, cyprinidae)

AbstractIn this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Carassioides acuminatus was first sequenced and annotated. The entire mitogenome is 16,579bp in length, which consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region (D-loop). The overall nucleotide composition of the C. acuminatus mitochondrial genome shows an obvious anti-G bias. The accuracy of the fresh sequences was verified by phylogenetic analysis. The complete mitochondrial genome of C. acuminatus is useful to population genetics and molecular systematics.
