Abstract

Abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of Cirrhinus molitorella was determined using the polymerase chain reaction. The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence is 16, 602 bp in length. It consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 2 non-coding regions. Overall base composition of mitogenome is estimated to be 32.32% for A, 15.26% for G, 25.00% for T, 27.41% for C, respectively, with a high A + T content (57.32%). The control region contains a dinucleotide repeat motif, (TA)12, a termination-associated sequence and three conserved sequence blocks. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of C. molitorella can provide a basic data for the studies on population structure, molecular systematic, stock evaluation and conservation genetics. It is also helpful to develop the rational management strategies for C. molitorella resource.
