Abstract:
Rhynchocypris lagowskii sensu lato (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae) has been revealed as a species complex including two species, i.e. R. lagowskii sensu stricto and a cryptic species R. cf. lagowskii. We determined the first complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of R. cf. lagowskii by comparing with a published mitogenome of R. lagowskii sensu stricto. The two species displayed similar pattern of mitochondrial gene arrangements and similar base compositions of the heavy strain with a bias in the A+T content. There were the nucleotide sequence similarity of 91.8% for mitogenomes and pairwise p-distance of 6.9% for COI genes between R. cf. lagowskii and R. lagowskii sensu stricto and these results supported the two species as different species.

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...
