The complete mitochondrial genome of Sinocyclocheilus huizeensis (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae)

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Sinocyclocheilus huizeensis has been determined by polymerase chain reaction method for the first time. The overall base composition of Sinocyclocheilus huizeensis mitogenome is 30.8% for A, 27.0% for C, 16.9% for G and 25.3% for T. The percentage of G + C content is 43.9%. The mitogenome is a circular DNA molecule of 16,585 bp in length with a D-loop region and contains 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and 13 protein-coding genes. The mitochondrial genome sequencing for Sinocyclocheilus huizeensis in this study provides important molecular data for further evolutionary analysis for Cyprinoidea.
