Mitochondrial DNA. 2014 Apr;25(2):100-1. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2013.784755. Epub 2013 Apr 16.
The complete mitochondrial genome of the natural hexaploid loach Misgurnus anguillicaudatus is a circular molecule of 16,643 bp in size, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and 2 main noncoding regions (the control region and the origin of the light strand replication). Most of the genes are encoded on the heavy strand, except for ND6 and eight tRNAs. The control region is 918 bp in length and located between the tRNA(Pro) and tRNA(Phe) genes, some typical conserved elements (TAS, CSB1-3 and CSB D-F) were found in this region. All these features reflect a typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement of the hexaploid M. anguillicaudatus.
天然六倍体泥鳅（Misgurnus anguillicaudatus）的完整线粒体基因组是一个大小为16,643 bp的环状分子，包含13个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA（tRNA）基因、2个核糖体RNA（rRNA）基因和2个主要非编码区（控制区和轻链复制起点）。除了ND6和8个tRNA外，大多数基因都在重链上编码。控制区长918 bp，位于tRNA(Pro)和tRNA(Phe)基因之间，在该区域发现了一些典型的保守元件（TAS、CSB1 - 3和CSB D - F）。所有这些特征反映了六倍体泥鳅典型的脊椎动物线粒体基因排列。
