Abstract: In this study, the complete sequence of the 16,527 base pairs Cottus sibiricus altaicus mitochondrial genome was presented. The composition of the whole mitochondrial DNA was 26.93% for A, 26.30% for T, 29.70% for C, 17.07% for G. The genes found in C. sibiricus altaicus and other vertebrate mtDNA were the same, which contained the genes for 13 proteins, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs and 2 main non-coding genes (the control region (CR) and the origin of the light strand replication (O(L)). The sequence showed high economy of organization in that there were few nucleotides between individual genes except for the control region.
