The complete mitochondrial genome of the shoal chub, Macrhybopsis hyostoma

The complete mitochondrial genome of the shoal chub (Macrhybopsis hyostoma) was determined to be 16,899 bp and contained 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 1 control region. The whole genome base composition was 30.5% A, 28.5% T, 24.9% C and 16.1 G. This complete mitochondrial genome provides essential molecular markers for resolving phylogeny and future conservation efforts.
