Abstract:
Glyptothorax sinense (Siluriformes, Sisoridae), is a kind of small-sized freshwater fish which mainly distributes in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River in China. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of G. sinense was first determined using a PCR-based method. The complete mtDNA sequence is 16,531 bp in length, including 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, and a non-coding control region (D-loop). The overall-based composition was 31.61% A, 26.66% T, 15.38% G and 26.34% C, with a relatively high A + T content (58.27%). This will provide a useful tool for evolutionary and population genetic studies of G. sinense.
