The long polymerase chain reaction and primer walking method were applied for the sequencing of the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of a cyprinid species (Metzia longinasus) collected from the Hongshuihe River of the Pearl River drainage, Guangxi Province in China. It is 16,614 bp in length, containing 2 rRNA, 22 tRNA, 13 protein-coding genes and 1 control region generally found in most vertebrates. Most of the mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand except for eight tRNA and ND6 genes. The base composition of this genome was 31.9% A, 26.2%C, 26.2%T and 15.7%G, showing a lower level of G (15.7%) and a slighter AT bias (58.1%). This is the 2nd completely sequenced mitogenome from genus Metzia. The mtDNA sequence of M. longinasus shared 93% sequence similarity with that of M. formosae and it could contribute to a better solution of its phylogenetic position within cyprinid fishes based on the complete mitogenomic data.

D003062	Codon	A set of three nucleotides in a protein coding sequence that specifies individual amino acids or a termination signal (CODON, TERMINATOR). Most codons are universal, but some organisms do not produce the transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER) complementary to all codons. These codons are referred to as unassigned codons (CODONS, NONSENSE).
