Mitochondrial DNA. 2015;26(6):823-4. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2013.855911. Epub 2014 Jan 10.
The mitochondrial genome of Mystacoleucus marginatus (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae) has been sequenced. The total sequence is 16,611 bp in size with 56.67% AT content. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs and 1 putative control region. The gene content and organization are similar to that of most other vertebrates. Most genes are encoded on the heavy strand except ND6 and eight tRNA genes on light strand. This molecular information will contribute to better understand its evolution and population genetics.
边缘墨头鱼(鲤形目,鲤科)的线粒体基因组已被测序。其总序列大小为16,611碱基对,AT含量为56.67%。它包含13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA、22个转运RNA和1个假定的控制区。基因内容和组织与大多数其他脊椎动物相似。除了ND6和位于轻链上的8个tRNA基因外,大多数基因都在重链上编码。这些分子信息将有助于更好地了解其进化和群体遗传学。
