Abstract:
Glass red common carp (Cyprinus carpio var. wananensis) were occasionally found among wild common carp (Cyprinus carpio) 50 years ago. In this paper, we determined the complete sequences of Glass red common carp and wild common carp mitogenomes. Both mitogenomes exhibited the same length of 16,581 bp, order in 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 1 control region. The sequence similarity between them reached 99.62% and 100% in 21 tRNA genes (excluding tRNA(Ser)) and 2 protein-coding genes (ATP8 and ND4L), respectively. The two mitogenomes will be useful in elucidating the evolutional relationship of the common carp.
