Complete mitochondrial genome of the Triplophysa (Hedinichthys) yarkandensis (Day)

In this study, we first determined the complete mitochondrial genome of the Triplophysa (Hedinichthys) yarkandensis (Day). The genome was 16,566 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and a non-coding region (D-loop region). The overall base composition of T. (H.) yarkandensis (Day) in descending order was T 28.20%, A 27.12%, C 25.61% and G 19.07%, with a slight A + T bias. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence could provide useful information for phylogenetic analysis and studies of population genetics of T. (H.) yarkandensis (Day).
