Complete mitochondrial genome of Gymnocypris waddellii (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae)

This study provides a mitochondrial complete genome of Gymnocypris waddellii. The complete genome is 16,674bp in length with an A+T content of 55.4%, which contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that G. waddellii is closely related to Oxygymnocypris stewartii. These results contribute to explore the molecular biology characteristic of G. waddellii on the conditions of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
