Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Gymnocypris dobula (Cypriniformes:Cyprinidae)

Abstract

Gymnocypris dobula is listed as Vulnerable (VU) status in the IUCN’s Red List of Threatened Species. In this paper, complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of G. dobula was determined. The complete mitogenome is 16,720 bp in length, and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 2 non-coding regions: control region (D-loop) and origin of light-strand replication (O_L). The complete mitogenome sequence information of G. dobula is conducive to futher studies on molecular systematics, stock evaluation and conservation genetics.
