Abstract

Abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Sinocyclocheilus wumengshanensis from Yunnan Province in China was analysed using next-generation sequencing. The complete mitogenome was 16, 585 bp in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and one D-loop region. Nucleotide composition of the whole mitogenome was 30.5% A, 25.2% T, 27.0% C, and 17.2% G. The gene arrangement and nucleotide composition of the mitogenome of S. wumengshanensis were similar to those of other Sinocyclocheilus species. Phylogenetic analyses using mitogenomes of 12 species showed that 10 Sinocyclocheilus species clustered as one monophyletic clade with strong supports and S. wumengshanensis was closely related to S. grahami .
