Abstract

In this study, the entire mitogenome sequence of the O. macrolepis has been sequenced. However, its systematic classification is still undetermined. The complete mitochondrial genome is 16,621bp, which includes 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes and 22 tRNA genes) and 1 control region.The overall base composition is 34.52% A, 19.01% T, 25.58% C, 20.89% G, showing AT rich feature (55.76%). Its structure type is similar to the mitogenome of Cyprinidae. Phylogenetic tree showed that O. macrolepis belong to Barbinae.

Keywords: Onychostoma macrolepis; mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic tree.
