Complete mitochondrial genome of Acrossocheilus wenchowensis (Cyprinidae, Barbinae).

We determined the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Acrossocheilus wenchowensis. It is the first report of mitogenome in genus Acrossocheilus. The total length of A. wenchowensis is 16,591 bp, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a A+T rich control region. The gene order and transcriptional orientation are similar to most vertebrates. The overall base composition is 31.00% A, 27.70% C, 16.30% G and 25.00% T. The termination-associated sequence and conserved sequence blocks were identified in the control region.
