TheFossorochromis rostratusis a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Malawi in East Africa. In this study, we first reported the complete mitochondrial genome ofF. rostratus. The whole mitochondrial genome is 16 581 bp in length, which contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes. The GC content of this mitochondrial genome is 45.96% (27.47% A, 26.57%T, 30.12% C, and 15.84% G), similar toAstatotilapia calliptera(the GC content of 45.90%). We constructed a phylogenetic tree on the complete mitochondrial genomes of these two species and other 10 closely related species to show their phylogenic relationship. The complete mitochondrial genome ofF. rostratusand its phylogenic relationship with other related species would facilitate our understanding of the evolution of Cichlidae mitochondrial genome.

In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence ofSchizothorax davidi. The length of the genome is 16,577 bp, which contains 13 protein coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and two non-coding regions: control region (D-loop) and origin of light-strand replication (OL). The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence ofS. davidiprovides useful genetic markers for the studies on molecular systematic, population genetics, and phylogeography. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence ofGymnocypris chilianensiswas determined and analyzed. The mitogenome ofG. chilianensisis 16,667 bp long, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 2 non-coding regions: control region (D-loop) and origin of light-strand replication (OL). The gene order of mitogenome is identical to that observed in most other vertebrates. The complete mitogenome sequence information ofG. chilianensiscan provide useful data for further studies on molecular systematic, taxonomic status, stock evaluation and conservation genetics.

Juema pig is a kind of rare and special pig which is well adapted to high altitude, cold climate and harsh natural environment. The complete mitochondrial genome of Juema pigSus scrofais a circular molecule of 16 532 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a control region. The A + T content of the overall base composition of H-strand is 60.7% (T: 26.2%; C: 26.0%; A: 34.5%; G: 13.3%).ND4Lgene begins with GTG as start codon,ND2, ND3,andND5genes begin with ATA as a start codon, and other nine protein-coding genes start with ATG.Cyt bgene is terminated with AGA as stop codon,ND1andND2genes are terminated with TAG as stop codon,COII, COIII, ND3,andND4end with T, whileATP6, ATP8, COI, ND4L, ND5,andND6end with TAA. In addition, the phylogenetic relationships from neighbor-joining analyses based on the 13 concatenated PCGs indicated (Tylopoda (Suina (Ruminantia (Hippopotamidae, Cetacea)))).

The entire mitochondrial genome ofGarrulax poecilorhynchusconsists of 17 814 bp and containe 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and two control regions. The nucleotide composition of the mitogenome ofG. poecilorhynchusis A = 5342 (29.99%), T = 4314 (24.22%), G = 2480 (13.92%), and C = 5678 (31.87%). The genome has an overall A + T content of 54.21%, which has a similar value among known genusGarrulaxmitogenomes. All the tRNA genes display a typical clover-leaf structure.Garrulax poecilorhynchusshare the closest relationship with other two species,G. perspicillatusandG. sannio. These data could serve to enrich the resource of genusGarrulaxin systematic, population genetic, and evolutionary biological studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The stretch spiderTetragnatha maxillosa(Araneae: Tetragnathidae) is found all over the world. In the present study, we investigated the complete mitochondrial genome ofT. maxillosaand the mitogenome is a circular molecule of 14 414 bp in length, consists of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a control region. The A + T content of the overall base composition of H-strand is 74.5% (T: 40.4%; C: 9.6%; A: 34.1%; G: 15.9%).COIgene begins with TTT as start codon,COIIandCOIIIgenes begin with TTG as start codon,ATP8, Cyt b, ND2,andND4Lgenes begin with ATT as start codon, and other six protein-coding genes start with ATA.ATP6, ATP8, COI, COIII, ND1, ND3,andND6genes are terminated with TAA as stop codon,Cyt b, ND2, ND4, ND4L,andND5end with T, andCOIIends with TAG. In addition, the phylogenetic relationships from neighbor-joining analyses based on the 13 concatenated PCGs indicated (Tetragnatha(Nephila(Argiope(Araneus, Neoscona)))). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Garrulax sannio(Passeriformes, Timaliidae) was the medium-sized bird, whose plumage color was similar for both sexes. The complete sequence of the mitochondrial DNA genome fromG. sannioused the polymerase chain reaction method. The genome (17 840 bp in length) contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA (12S and 16S) genes, 22 tRNA genes and 2 control regions (D-loop). The base composition ofG. sanniomitogenome A + T percentage was 52.22%. It is slightly higher than G + C 47.78% which was similar with other vertebrates. Through constructed phylogenetic tree, we could identify its taxonomic status. Therefore, mitochondrial genome was a best way to preserve genetic resources of species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
