Complete mitochodrial genome of Vanmanenia pingchowensis (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Vanmanenia pingchowensis was determined in this study. The gene composition, arrangement and transcriptional orientation in V. pingchowensis mitogenome were identical to most vertebrates. The complete mitogenome of V. pingchowensis was 15,560 bp in size with 13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a control region. Two start codon patterns and three stop codon patterns were found in protein-coding genes. Only the tRNA-Ser2 could not fold into a typical clover-leaf secondary structure for lacking the dihydrouridine arm. Sequences alignment results suggest that the complete mitogenome of V. pingchowensis is an efficient tool to study molecular phylogenetics, biogeography and adaptive evolution of this lineage.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Vanmanenia stenosoma (Teleostei: Gastromyzontidae)

“…Vanmanenia Hora, 1932 has long been treated as a senior synonym of Praeformosania Fang (1935); loaches of the genus Vanmanenia are currently represented by 20 nominal species in China and Southeast Asia (Chen 1980;Pan et al 1991;Tang & Chen 2000;Sato et al 2011;Kottelat 2012;Chen 2013;Yi et al 2014;Liang et al 2016). However, based on this study, the molecular phylogeny reveals V. stenosoma (type species of Vanmanenia) and 'V.'…”

“… 2014 ; Liang et al. 2016 ). However, based on this study, the molecular phylogeny reveals V. stenosoma (type species of Vanmanenia ) and ‘ V. ’ pingchowensis (type species of Praeformosania ) as separate clades, with the former more closely related to Formosania lacustris (type species of Formosania Oshima, 1919) than to the latter ( Figure 1 ; the methods returned very similar tree topologies).…”

Complete mitochondrial genome of Vanmanenia hainanensis (Cypriniformes: Gastromyzontidae)

“…Vanmanenia hainanensis Chen & Zheng 1980 is endemic to Hainan Island (Zheng and Chen 1980). However, only three complete mitochondrial genomes of Vanmanenia species were reported in previous studies (Liang et al 2014;Chen and Li 2016;Shi et al 2018). In the present study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of V. hainanensis, which will provide important information for future studies on taxonomy, phylogeny, and evolution of Vanmanenia species.…”

The complete mitochondrial genome of Yaoshania pachychilus (CHEN, 1980) (Cyprinifromes, Balitoridae)

“…Twenty-two tRNA genes ranged from 66 bp (tRNA-Cys) to 76 bp (tRNA-Gly1). Only tRNA-Ser2 lacked the dihydrouridine arm and replaced it with a simple loop, the remaining tRNAs could be folded into a typical clover-leaf secondary structure (Liang et al 2014). Between tRNA-Asn and tRNA-Cys, a 31-bp sequence was identified as the origin of L-strand replication (OL), which could be folded into a hairpin structure (8 bp stem and 13 bp loop).…”
