Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016;27(2):1064-5. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2014.928869. Epub 2014 Jun 25.
Lepturichthys fimbriata is an endemic and an important commercial fish which distributes in the upper stream of the Yangtze River. In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of L. fimbriata has been first sequenced by DNA sequencing based on the PCR fragments. The mitogenome, consisting of 16,567 base pairs (bp), includes 13 protein coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and a non-coding control region (CR). The overall base composition of L. fimbriata is 30.4% A, 28.7% C, 16.5% G, and 24.4% T, with a relatively a slight AT bias of 54.7%. CR of 903 bp length is located between tRNA(Pro) and tRNA(Phe). The complete mitochondrial genome sequence would be useful for further studies on conservation genetics and resource management in L. fimbriata.
长薄鳅是一种分布于长江上游的特有且重要的商业鱼类。在本研究中,首次基于PCR片段通过DNA测序对长薄鳅的完整线粒体基因组序列进行了测序。该线粒体基因组由16567个碱基对(bp)组成,包括13个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA、2个核糖体RNA基因和一个非编码控制区(CR)。长薄鳅的总体碱基组成为30.4%A、28.7%C、16.5%G和24.4%T,具有相对轻微的54.7%的AT偏向性。长度为903bp的CR位于tRNA(Pro)和tRNA(Phe)之间。完整的线粒体基因组序列将有助于长薄鳅保护遗传学和资源管理的进一步研究。
