The complete mitochondrial genome of Xenophysogobio nudicorpa (Cypriniformes; Cyprinidae)

Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial DNA genome sequence of Xenophysogobio nudicorpa was first determined by DNA sequencing based on the PCR fragments. The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genome sequence of X. nudicorpa is a circular molecule of 16,616 bp in length. It consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region (D-loop). The gene nucleotide composition of X. nudicorpa is 30.5% A, 26.0% C, 16.8% G, and 26.7% T, with a relatively high A+T content (57.2%). The results could provide useful data for studying genetic diversity and phylogenetics in X. nudicorpa and related species.
