Abstract
•The mitochondrial genome of Aspiorhynchus laticeps was determined.•Its structural and evolutionary analyses were performed.
The complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Aspiorhynchus laticeps was determined. The length of the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of A. laticeps is 16,591 bp, which consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and a non-coding region ‘D-loop’. Except for the D-loop, another non-coding region named replication origin of L-strand (OL) region was also found. According to the phylogenetic analysis, A. laticeps has a closer relationship with Schizothorax.
