Abstract:

The study aims to correctly distinguish between Gymnocypris przewalskii and Gymnocypris eckloni,and to provide corresponding data support to scientific research and judicial identification of fish poaching cargo. The mitochondrial genomes of Gymnocypris przewalskii and Gymnocypris eckloni were sequenced and bioinformatics analyzed. In addition,a cyprinid phylogenetic tree was constructed using the maximum likelihood (ML) method based on the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of 36 cyprinid species. The results showed that the total length of the mitochondrial genome of Gymnocypris przewalskii was 16 720 bp,including 13 protein-coding genes,22 tRNA genes,2 rRNA genes and 1 D-Loop control region. The nucleotide composition of the entire mitochondrial genome was A (28.68%),T (27.29%),G (18.16%) and C (25.87%),with a significant AT-bias (55.97%). The total sequence of the mitochondrial genome of Gymnocypris eckloni was 16 760 bp,including 13 protein-coding genes,22 tRNA genes,2 rRNA genes and 1 D-Loop control region. The nucleotide composition of whole mitochondrial genome was A (28.63%),T (27.22%),G (18.26%) and C (25.88%). There was also a significant AT bias (55.85%). All protein-coding genes in the mitochondrial genome of Gymnocypris przewalskii and Gymnocypris eckloni took ATG as the initiation codon,the vast majority of protein-coding genes took TAG or TAA as the termination codon,and a few took incomplete codons (T--) as the termination codon. All tRNA genes could form a typical clover structure. Phylogenetic analysis showed that all species of the genus Gymnocypris were clustered together and were closely related to the Spinibarbus hollandi,Schizothorax taliensis and Aspiorhynchus laticeps. The mitochondrial genome-based phylogenetic analysis of this experimental study did not accurately distinguish the Gymnocypris przewalskii and Gymnocypris eckloni,but laid the foundation for re-establishing a clearer taxonomic system for Cyprinidae.
