Sequence and organization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Schizothorax davidi (Teleostei: Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae)

Abstract

In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Schizothorax davidi. The length of the genome is 16,577 bp, which contains 13 protein coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and two non-coding regions: control region (D-loop) and origin of light-strand replication (OL). The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of S. davidi provides useful genetic markers for the studies on molecular systematic, population genetics, and phylogeography.
