Complete mitochondrial genome of Amur sturgeon (Acipenser schrenckii).

The complete mitochondrial genome of Amur sturgeon (Acipenser schrenckii) was determined in this study. The mitogenome is 16,684 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 2 non-coding regions (the control region and the putative origin of the light strand replication) with a typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement. The overall base composition of the heavy strand is 30.07% for A, 29.36% for C, 16.44% for G and 24.13% for T, with a slight AT bias of 54.20%.
