The complete mitochondrial genome of the Acrossocheilus fasciatus (Cyprinidae, Barbinae).

The mitochondrial genome of Acrossocheilus fasciatus (Cyprinidae, Barbinae) is a circular molecule of 16,589 bp in length, containing 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes: 13 proteincoding genes (PCGs), 2 r RNAs, 22 t RNAs and a non-coding D-loop region. Its gene order and arrangement are identical to the common type found in most fish mitogenomes. All PCGs start with a typical ATG codon except for COI which use GTG as a start codon; all PCGs terminate in the common stop codon TAA or TAG, except for the ND2, ND3, ND4, COII, Cytb and COIII which use single T or TA as a stop codon. The non-coding D-loop region is 938 bp long, located between tRNA(Pro) and tRNA(Phe) genes. It contains some structures of repeated motifs and microsatellite-like elements characteristic of the Cyprinidae.
