The complete mitochondrial genome of Fujian rod gugeon Microphysogobio fukienensis (Nichols) (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae)

Abstract

In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of the Fujian rod gugeon, Microphysogobio fukienensis (Nichols) (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae, Gobioninae) has been amplified. The mitogenome, consisting of 16,600 bp, had the typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs genes and a noncoding control region (CR). CR of 930 bp length is located between tRNA^Pro and tRNA^Phe. The overall base composition of M. fukienensis is 31.0% for A, 26.0% for C, 26.6% for T and 16.4% for G, with higher AT content of 57.0%. The complete mitogenome may provide rather essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogenetic analysis for not only congeneric species but also higher different taxa of Cyprinid fishes.
