Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2017 Jan;28(1):91-92. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2015.1110813. Epub 2015 Dec 28.

Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Carassius auratus var. high back crucian carp (C. auratus var.) was determined (GenBank accession number is KT756205). The mitochondrial genome sequence of C. auratus var. was a circular molecule with 16 581 bp in length, and contained 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes, including 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a control region (D-loop). Four nucleotide compositions and their relative proportions of the entire mitogenome was 26.19% C, 16.06% G, 31.57% A and 26.18% T, with contents of A + T and G + C being 57.75% and 42.25%, respectively.

Keywords: Carassius auratus var. high back crucian carp; mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic analysis; sequencing.
