Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Labeo fimbriatus (Bloch, 1975). (1st November 2016) - Sahoo, Lakshman
Abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of Labeo fimbriatus, the fringe-lipped carp, was determined for the first time. The genome was 16, 614 bp in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and one control region. Organization of genes and their order are in accordance with other vertebrates. The overall base composition on the plus strand was A: 32.35%, G: 15.46%, C: 27.54%, T: 24.647%, and the A + T content 57%. The control region contains a microsatellite, (TA)12, a putative termination-associated sequence and three conserved sequence blocks. This mitogenome sequence data would play an important role in population genetics and phylogenetics of cultivable carps of India.
