The complete mitogenome of Glyptothorax deqinensis (Siluriformes: Sisoridae)

Abstract

Glyptothorax deqinensis is a small endangered Sisoridae fish mainly distributed in the southwest of China. In the present study, the complete mitochondrial genome of G. deqinensis was firstly sequenced. The total length of the G. deqinensis mitogenome is 16,542 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region. Among these genes, 28 are encoded by the H-strand and 9 by the L-strand. The information mitogenome obtained herein will provide useful tools for future studies on population genetic and phylogenetic analyses of this fish.
