Mitochondrial genome of Mola carplet, Amblypharyngodon mola (Hamilton, 1822) and its evolutional relationship in subfamily Danioninae

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome in Mola carplet, Amblypharyngodon mola (Hamilton, 1822) was determined by MiSeq platform for the first time in the genus. The mitogenome of A. mola was circular and 16,545 bp in length, which harbours a canonical 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and a control region (D-Loop). Twenty eight genes were encoded on the H strand and the other 9 genes were on the L strand. The incomplete stop codon (TA-/T–) was identified in seven genes (COX2, COX3, ND2, ND3, ND4, ATP6, and Cytb). The mitogenome of A. mola showed highest (82%) sequence identity with Rasbora vaterifloris (GenBank No. NC015531), which is endemic to Sri Lanka.
