Mitochondrial DNA. 2013 Jun;24(3):199-201. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2012.744983. Epub 2013 Jan 14.
The complete mitochondrial genome of the tiger tail seahorse was sequenced using a polymerase chain reaction-based method. The total length of mitochondrial DNA is 16,525 bp and includes 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region. The mitochondrial gene arrangement of the tiger tail seahorse is also matching the one observed in the most vertebrate creatures. Base composition of the genome is A (32.8%), T (29.8%), C (23.0%), and G (14.4%) with an A+T-rich hallmark as that of other vertebrate mitochondrial genomes.
采用基于聚合酶链反应的方法对虎尾海马的完整线粒体基因组进行了测序。线粒体DNA的总长度为16525碱基对,包括13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA、22个转运RNA基因和一个控制区。虎尾海马的线粒体基因排列也与大多数脊椎动物中观察到的排列相匹配。基因组的碱基组成为A(32.8%)、T(29.8%)、C(23.0%)和G(14.4%),具有其他脊椎动物线粒体基因组所特有的富含A+T的特征。
