Abstract

Abstract: Sinocyclocheilus wenshanensis is a cyprinid fish species endemic to Southwestern China. In this study, we first sequenced and characterized the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of S. wenshanensis by next-generation sequencing method. The entire length of mitogenome is 16, 595 base pairs (bp), containing 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region. Its gene arrangement pattern was identical to other previously reported Sinocyclocheilus fishes. The overall base composition is 31.12% A, 16.63% G, 25.45% T, and 26.80% C, with AT content of 56.57%. Phylogenetic analysis using mitogenome of 26 Cyprinidae fishes showed that S. wenshanensis are closely related to S. aluensis and S. oxycephalus . This work would provide molecular information fundamental to future phylogenetic analyses among Sinocyclocheilus species.
