Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of Schizothorax sinensis (Teleostei: Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae).

ABSTRACT: This study describes the first sequencing of the complete mitochondrial genome of Schizothorax sinensis, a species of cyprinid snowtrout from the Jialing River and Fujiang River basins in China's Sichuan Province. The total length is 16,571 base pairs. Similar to most Schizothoracinae mitochondrial genomes, there are 37 genes including 13 protein coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. In addition, it contains a control region rich in A-T nucleotides. The overall nucleotide composition is 29.6% for A, 27.1% for C, 17.9% for G and 25.4% for T, and the percentage of GC content is 45.0%. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that Schizothorax sinensis and Schizothorax prenanti clustered together in a clade. This work provides additional molecular information for studying Schizothorax sinensis conservation genetics and evolutionary relationships.

Project description:Schizothorax kozlovi is an endemic and vulnerable fish species found in the upper Yangtze River in China. Over the past few years, the population resources of S. kozlovi have been nearly completely depleted owing to multiple contributing threats. While the complete mitochondrial genomes serve as important molecular markers for phylogenetic and genetic studies, the mitochondrial genome of S. kozlovi has still received little attention. In this study, we analyzed the characterization of the mitochondrial genome of S. kozlovi and investigated the phylogenetic relationships of Schizothorax. The complete mitochondrial genome of S. kozlovi was 16,585 bp in length, which contained thirty-seven genes (thirteen protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), twenty-two transfer RNA genes (tRNAs)) and two non-coding regions for the origin of light strand (OL) and the control region (CR). There were nine overlapping regions and seventeen intergenic spacers regions in the mitochondrial genome. The genome also showed a bias towards A + T content (55.01%) and had a positive AT-skew (0.08) and a negative GC-skew (-0.20). All the PCGs employed the ATG or GTG as the start codon and TAA, TAG, or single T as the stop codon. Additionally, all of the tRNAs displayed a typical cloverleaf secondary structure, except trnS1 which lacked the D arm. The phylogenetic analysis, based on the maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) methods, revealed that the topologies of the phylogenetic tree divided the Schizothorax into four clades and did not support the classification of Schizothorax based on morphology. The phylogenetic status of S. kozlovi was closely related to that of S. chongi. The present study provides valuable genomic information for S. kozlovi and new insights in phylogenetic relationships of Schizothorax. These data could also offer fundamental references and guidelines for the management and conservation of S. kozlovi and other species of Schizothorax.
