The complete mitochondrial genome of the Ancherythroculter lini (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidea).

Ancherythroculter lini is the endemic species of fish in China. In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Ancherythroculter lini using the next-generation sequencing (NGS). The total length of the complete mitochondrial genome is 16 616 bp which consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNAs genes, and a control region. Most of the genes are encoded on the heavy strand except ND6 and eight tRNA genes. The genes order and locations are similar to other vertebrates. The H-strand has a nucleotide composition of 30.78% A, 24.74% T, 16.48% G, and 28.00% C. 13 intergenic spacers and five gene overlaps exist in the complete mitochondrial genome. And, we found the culter genus and Ancherythroculter nigrocauda are more closely related to Ancherythroculter lini by constructing a phylogenetic tree.
