Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of Parasinilabeo assimilis has been determined in this study. The gene composition, arrangement and transcriptional orientation in P. assimilis mitogenome were identical to most vertebrates. The complete mitogenome of P. assimilis was 16,602 bp in size with 13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNA genes and a control region. Two start codon patterns and three stop codon patterns were found in protein-coding genes. Only the tRNA-Ser2 could not fold into a typical clover-leaf secondary structure due to the lack of the dihydrouridine arm. Sequence alignment results suggest that the complete mitogenome of P. assimilis is an efficient tool to study molecular phylogenetics, biogeography and adaptive evolution of this lineage.
