Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016 Nov;27(6):4338-4339. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2015.1089490. Epub 2015 Oct 14.

Abstract

Hemiculter bleekeri bleekeri is a typical freshwater species that are mainly distributed in the river basins in China. The biological information of this species is very limited. In this study, we determined the complete mitogenome sequence of H. bleekeri bleekeri. The complete mitogenome of H. bleekeri bleekeri is 16 6173 bp in length, which contains 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 13 protein-coding genes and 2 non-coding region, a rep region (33 bp) and a control region (D-loop). This work provides new information which is helpful for comprehending the molecular systematic, taxonomic status and evolutionary biology of this species.

Keywords: Hemiculter bleekeri bleekeri; mitochondrial genome; molecular systematic.
