Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016 Nov;27(6):3895-3896. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2014.987252. Epub 2014 Dec 9.
The midas cichlid (Amphilophus citrinellus) is an important aquarium fish that has served as a model organism for studying sympatric speciation. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of the midas cichlid. We report that the cichlid's mitochondrial genome is a circular DNA double strand of 16,521 bp length, which contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 1 control region. The overall-base compositions of the H-strand are as follows: A, 28.56%; C, 30.69%; G, 15.11%; T, 25.64%. This study provides important genomic data to further the research of the genetic evolution of cichlids.
迈达斯丽鱼（Amphilophus citrinellus）是一种重要的观赏鱼，它已成为研究同域物种形成的模式生物。在本研究中，我们对迈达斯丽鱼的完整线粒体基因组进行了测序。我们报告称，丽鱼的线粒体基因组是一个长度为16,521 bp的环状DNA双链，其中包含13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA基因、2个rRNA基因和1个控制区。H链的总体碱基组成如下：A，28.56%；C，30.69%；G，15.11%；T，25.64%。本研究提供了重要的基因组数据，以进一步推动丽鱼遗传进化的研究。
