Abstract
The Clarias fuscus is an important economic fish in China and distributed widely in south China, e.g. Yangtze river, Pearl River, and Min River, even Hainan island. It is also distributed in Southeast Asia and Africa, so it is a good model for study population genetics and geological changes of these region. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of C. fuscus has been obtained with PCR. The gene composition and arrangement of mitochondrial genome sequence of C. fuscus are similar to most of other vertebrates, which contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a non-coding control region with total length of 16,518 bp. Most of genes are encoded on Heavy-Strand (H-strand), except for eight tRNA and ND6 genes. Like most vertebrates, the bias of G and C has universality in different region (genes). The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of C. fuscus would contribute for better understanding of population genetics, conservation, biogeography, evolution of this species.
期刊介绍:
Previously published under the title DNA Sequence (Vols 1-19.3), Mitochondrial DNA accepts original high-quality reports based on mapping, sequencing and analysis of mitochondrial DNA and RNA. Descriptive papers on DNA sequences from mitochondrial genomes, and also analytical papers in the areas of population genetics, medical genetics, phylogenetics and human evolution that use mitochondrial DNA as a source of evidence for studies will be considered for publication. The editorial board will also consider manuscripts that examine population genetic and systematic theory that specifically address the use of mitochondrial DNA sequences.
