Complete mitochondrial genome of a cavefish (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae).

In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of The whole mitochondrial genome is 16,587 bp with an accession number KX778473, and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs genes, and a 936 bp control region. Phylogenetic analysis shows that is close to cave-restricted and surface-dwelling The complete mitogenome of may provide useful information for studying the genetic mechanism of cavefish, and enrich the fish mitochondrial genome resource for further research.
