Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016 Nov;27(6):4256-4258. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2015.1046127. Epub 2015 Nov 5.
Sinocyclocheilus anshuiensis is a special cavefish that lives in the Southwestern China with many specific regressive features, such as rudimentary eyes and scales, and loss of pigmentation. In this study, we performed sequencing and assembly of its complete mitochondrial genome. We confirmed that total length of the mitochondrion is 16 618 bp with an AT ratio of 55.4%. The complete mitochondrial genome contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs and a 963 bp control region. Our current data provide important resources for the research of cavefish mitochondrial evolution and energy metabolism.
安水金线鲃是一种特殊的洞穴鱼类，生活在中国西南部，具有许多独特的退化特征，如眼睛和鳞片退化，色素沉着丧失。在本研究中，我们对其完整线粒体基因组进行了测序和组装。我们确认线粒体全长为16618 bp，AT含量为55.4%。完整的线粒体基因组包含13个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA、2个核糖体RNA和一个963 bp的控制区。我们目前的数据为洞穴鱼线粒体进化和能量代谢研究提供了重要资源。
