The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Schizothorax griseus (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae)

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) of Schizothorax griseus was sequenced. The mitogenome is 16,586 bp in length, composed of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two non-coding regions. The phylogenetic relationship constructed by Bayesian inference (BI) method showed that schizothorax is not a monophyly, species in the same river express a more close relationship. The results can contribute to explore the high level of diversification and the taxonomic conflict caused by morphologic characters of schizothorax, also, it will be an evidence for the biogeography and evolutionary mechanisms of Schizothoracinae fishes.
