Abstract
The entire mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Glyptothorax minimaculatus was sequenced; it spanned 16,536 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNAs, and 22 transfer RNA genes. A total of 37 genes formed a typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement. The phylogenetic tree of Sisoridae based on 13 PCGs was constructed and supported that G. minimaculatus was closely related to Glyptothorax sinensis, Glyptothorax zanaensis, Glyptothorax longinema, Glyptothorax granosus and Glyptothorax lanceatus. The mitogenome of G. minimaculatus described in this study provided molecular evidence for its current taxonomic status and laid a groundwork for further study concerning phylogenetics within Sisoridae.
