The complete mitochondrial genome of the Warm Springs pupfish , Cyprinodon nevadensis pectoralis.

In this article we report the complete mitochondrial genome of the Warm Springs pupfish,Cyprinodon nevadensis pectoralis. The genomic DNA of a single female individual was extracted and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq2000 platform. It contains 16,499 bp and a total of 37 genes, divided into 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 13 protein-coding genes. It exhibits 94% sequence similarity with the other published mitochondrion in its genus,C. rubrofluviatilis. A Tamura–Nei maximum-likelihood tree constructed from mitochondrial sequences shows expected phylogenetic relationships betweenC. nevadensisand sister taxa. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
