Abstract

The entire mitochondrial genome of Cobitis nalbanti (Teleostei: Cypriniformes: Cobitidae) was analyzed using the primer walking method. The mitogenome was 16,631 bp in length, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. Its gene order was congruent with those of typical vertebrates. In the phylogenetic tree, C. nalbanti was clearly separated from C. lutheri, which supported the recent taxonomic revision.

Keywords: Cobitis nalbanti; mitochondrial genome; phylogeny.
