Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Schizothorax dolichonema has been sequenced, which contains 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes and 2 non-coding regions: origin of light-strand replication and control region, with the total length of 16,583 bp. The gene order and composition are similar to most of other vertebrates. Most of the genes are encoded on heavy strand, except for eight tRNA and ND6 genes. The mitogenome sequence of S. dolichonema would contribute for better understanding of biogeography and evolution of Schizothoracine fishes.
