The complete mitochondrial genomes of three imperiled cyprinid fishes Bonytail (Gila elegans), Rio Grande Silvery Minnow (Hybognathus amarus) and Loach Minnow (Tiaroga cobitis)
Abstract:Gila elegans, Hybognathus amarus, and Tiaroga cobitis (Family Cyprinidae, Order Cypriniformes) are endemic and endangered fishes in the southwestern United States. We present complete mitochondrial genomes for each species. Each mitochondrion consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and a single control region (D-loop), and gene order was consistent with other cyprinid fishes. Total genome lengths were 16,593 base pairs (bp) for G. elegans, 16,705 bp for H. … Show more
Macrhybopsis tetranema
and
Oncorhynchus gilae
are fish species endemic to the Southwestern United States. We present the complete mitochondrial genomes for these species. Each genome consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and the control region (D-loop). Mitogenome lengths were 16,916 base pairs (bp) for
M. tetranema
, and 16,976 bp for
O. gilae.
The GC content was 41% for
M. tetranema
and 46% for
O. gilae
. The relationships of
M. tetranema
and
O. gilae
were consistent with previous phylogenetic analyses.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
