The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Sarcocheilichthys nigripinnis (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae)

Abstract

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%.
