Mitochondrial Genome of Triplophysa Scleroptera Loach from the Yellow River

The complete mitochondrial genome of the endemic plateau loach Triplophysa scleroptera from the upper Yellow River, China. The circular mitogenome is 16,572 bp in length and comprises 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a control region. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 13 PCGs places T. scleroptera as sister to the clade formed by T. tenuis and T. bombifrons.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic analysis based on the 13 protein-coding genes.
• Comparative genomics of mitochondrial gene arrangement among teleosts.
• Studying A+T-biased base composition in plateau fish species.
• Investigating the evolutionary relationships within the Triplophysa genus.

Strengths

• Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of 16,572 bp.
• Includes annotation for 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes.
• Phylogenetic placement is provided based on concatenated PCGs.

Limitations

• Data is provided in DOC/DOCX formats, not a structured bioinformatics format like FASTA or GenBank.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown.
• The dataset is small (1.0 MB), limiting its scope to a single genome.
