Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Lacerta agilis was determined in the present paper. The genome was 17,090 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and 1 control region (CR). The gene composition and order of which was similar to most other Squamate reptiles. The overall base composition of the genome in descending order was 31.29% A, 26. 39% C, 29.01% T and 13.29% G, with a slight AT bias of 60.30%. CR is located between the tRNA-Pro and tRNA-Phe genes and is 1688 bp in length, some tandem repeat sequences and conserved elements (CSB1-3) were found in the control region.

LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops resemble the...
