Abstract

Abstract: In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Leiocassis argentivittatus has been determined by polymerase chain reaction methods for the first time. The overall base composition of Leiocassis argentivittatus mitogenome is 31.7% for A, 26.4% for C, 14.9% for G and 27.0% for T. The percentage of G + C content is 41.3%. The mitogenome is a circular DNA molecule of 16, 534 bp in length with a D-loop region and contains 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and 13 protein-coding genes. The mitochondrial genome sequencing for Leiocassis argentivittatus in this study provides important molecular data for further evolutionary analysis of Siluriformes.
