Abstract:
Vanmanenia stenosoma belongs to the order Cypriniformes, and it is a typical torrent loach in China. In this study, we successfully determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of V. stenosoma (type species of Vanmanenia), which is 16,560 base pairs (bp) and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a putative control region. The genome has the same gene order as that found in other species of the family Gastromyzontidae. This suggests those genera share a common ancestral mitogenome. Nevertheless, phylogenetic reconstructions did not support the monophyly of the genus Vanmanenia.
