Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of the Amur weatherfish, Misgurnus mohoity is a circular molecule of 16,566 bp in size, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and 2 main non-coding regions (the control region and the origin of the light strand replication). Most of the genes are encoded on the heavy strand, except for ND6 and eight tRNAs. The control region is 915 bp in length and located between the tRNAPro and tRNAPhe genes, some typical conserved elements (TAS, CSB1-3 and CSB D-F) were found in this region. All these features reflect a typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement of the M. mohoity.
