The complete mitochondrial genome of Schizothorax eurystomus Kessler, 1872 (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae).

ABSTRACT: Schizothorax eurystomus, Kessler 1872 is a unique economic fish in Xinjiang, China that is rarely seen in the market. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to determine the complete mitochondrial genome of S. eurystomus collected from the Yarkand River in Xinjiang. The results showed that the mitochondrial genome is a circular, 16,488-bp-long nucleotide with the typical vertebrate genome structure of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region. The termination-associated sequence (TAS), central conserved sequence block (CSB), and conserved sequence block were detected in the control region. Phylogenetic analysis placed S. eurystomus in a fully supported clade with S. biddulphi, and that clade was sister to S. yunnanensis. To our knowledge, this is the first study on the complete mitochondrial genome of S. eurystomus from the Yarkand River in Xinjiang, and it provides baseline genetic information for future studies.

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.
