Genomic sequencing revealed phylogenetic relationships in Schistura species, suggesting evolutionary dynamics in Cypriniformes.
This study sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome (16,571 bp) of Schistura yingjiangensis, a species endemic to Yunnan, China. The genome contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a close relationship between S. yingjiangensis, S. polytaenia, and S. longa. This work helps clarify the evolution of the large, paraphyletic genus Schistura and contributes to understanding the evolutionary dynamics of Cypriniformes.
