The complete mitochondrial genome of Ancherythroculter nigrocauda (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae) and its phylogenetic position.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Ancherythroculter nigrocauda was determined in this study. It contained 1 replication origin, 1 control region (D-Loop), 2 rRNA genes, 13 PCGs, and 22 tRNA genes with the base composition 31.40% A, 25.00% T, 27.60% C, and 16.00% G. Here, we compared this newly determined mitogenome with another one from the same species reported before. The variable sites and the genetic distances between the two mitogenomes were 608 bp and 0.038, respectively. The results from the phylogenetic analysis showed that the genus Ancherythroculter is not a monophyletic group and Ancherythroculter nigrocauda demonstrates a close relationship with Chanodichthys dabryi.
