Complete mitochondrial genome of Acheilognathus signifer (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae): Comparison of light-strand replication origins from six Acheilognathus species

Abstract

Acheilognathus signifer (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae) is an endemic, endangered fresh water fish species in the Korean peninsula. In this study, the mitochondrial genome of A. signifer was completely sequenced, which is 16,566 bp in length. The characteristics of the complete mitochondrial genome were described in detail.
