Complete mitochondrial genome of Pseudorasbora elongata (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae)

Abstract

Phylogenetic placement of Pseudorasbora elongate remains unresolved. We determined the first complete mitochondrial genome of P. elongate that its mitogenome data should contribute to clarify the systematics of Pseudorasbora fishes. The mitogenome was 16,607 bp in length, including 13 typical protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 1 control region. The overall base composition of the heavy strain was 31.1% for A, 24.8% for C, 28.2% for T and 15.9% for G, with the A + T bias of 59.3%.
