[Display omitted] •Most (117) genera and nearly half (612) of species of the Cyprininae were sampled.•Five mitochondrial genes (or mitogenomes) and cloned nuclear RAG1 were analyzed.•Eleven tribes (includes 3 described herein) were recovered from the Cyprininae.•Each tribe has 1–3 RAG1 copies; origi...
