Abstract

The complete mitogenomes of Ying hybrid carp (Russian scattered scale mirror carp ♀ × Carp-goldfish nucleocytoplasmic hybrid ♂) was sequenced by PCR-based method. The total of the mtDNA was 16,581 bp, and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2rRNA genes, and 1 control region (D-loop region). The overall base composition was as follows: A: 31.9%, T: 24.8%, C: 27.5%, and G: 15.8%, respectively. The overall AT and GC skew were found to be 0.125 and −0.271, respectively. A majority of the genes used ATG as the start codon, except that the codon GTG was found to initiated the CO I gene. Most of the genes ended with the complete stop codon TAA or TAG, while the COII, ND3, ND4, and Cytb genes terminated with the incomplete stop codons ‘T––’.
