Abstract
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Paracheilognathus imberbis (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae: Acheilognathinae) was determined by long PCR and primer-walking methods. The complete mitochondrial genome is 16,819 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes as well as a displacement loop (D-loop). The overall base composition of the genome is A(29.73%), T(27.25%), C(26.63%) and G(17.40%), respectively. The mitogenome of P. imberbis displayed novel gene order arrangement compared with published Rhodeus sinensis to date. The mitogenome would contribute to resolving phylogenetic position and interrelationships of Acheilognathinae.
