Abstract

Abstract: In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Paracobitis variegates was first reported. The total length of the mitogenome is 16, 571 bp long with the A + T content of 55.6%. It contains the typical structure, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and one D-loop region. The protein-coding genes start with the typical ATG codon, while CO I gene uses GTG as the initiation codon. Most tRNA genes could form typical secondary structures except tRNA ser, which had an absence of the DHU arm. There are 43 helices structures in 12S rRNA, and six domains, 53 helices structures in 16S rRNA. According to the phylogenetic analysis, Paracobitis variegates has a closer relationship with Barbatula toni .
