Complete Mitochondrial DNA Sequence of Rasbora : Mitogenome Characterization and Phylogenetic Implications

Rasbora are freshwater fishes that belongs to Cyprinidae family whereby most of its member share similar morphology which makes them difficult to be differentiated between species. In this study, both the morphometry analysis and mitochondrial DNA approach were used to resolve the phylogenetic relat...
