Mitochondrial genome of Acheilognathus striatus characterisation and phylogenetic analysis
Abstract
In this study, the taxonomic position of Acheilognathus striatus was clarified through mitogenome analysis. The circular mitogenome is 16,692 bp long and comprises 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and one non-coding D-loop region. The mitogenome exhibits AT skewness and anti-G bias. Phylogenetic trees were constructed using 22 Acheilognathinae species, with Gobioninae and Leuciscinae used as outgroups. The phylogenetic tree revealed that A. striatus formed a sister group with R. shitaiensis. This study contributes to a better understanding of the mitogenome characteristics and evolutionary relationships among Acheilognathinae species.
