Abstract
In this study, the complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence of Schizothorax yunnanensis paoshanensis is determined for the first time. The complete mtDNA genome sequence of S. yunnanensis paoshanensis is 16,585 bp in length. It consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and a putative control region (D-loop region). The gene order of S. yunnanensis paoshanensis mtDNA is identical to most of the vertebrate mtDNAs. The complete mitogenome sequence information of S. yunnanensis paoshanensis can provide useful data for further studies on molecular systematics, taxonomic status and conservation genetics.
