Abstract:
Toxabramis houdemeri belongs to the genus Toxabramis in the subfamily of Cultrinae (Cyprinidae). We first determine the complete mitochondrial genome of T. houdemeri in this study. It is 16 618 bp in length, with the base composition on the heavy strand: 30.79% A, 16.61% G, 27.29% C, and 25.31% T. It has the typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a D-loop region. Phylogenetic analysis showed that T. houdemeri was clustered into one branch of the subfamily of Cultrinae, and closely related to Hemiculter leucisculus. The present study will contribute to genetic resources conservation of T. houdemeri and studying its population genetic structure and phylogenetic relationships.
