Abstract:
In this study we determined the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of the yellowtail clownfish Amphiprion clarkii using eight consensus primer pairs with a long PCR technique. The circular mtDNA molecule was 16,976 bp in size and the overall nucleotide composition of the H-strand was 29.15% A, 26.15% T, 15.67% G and 29.03% C, with an A + T bias. The complete mitogenome contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs and 1 control region (D-loop), and the gene order was typical of vertebrate mitogenomes. We determined five complete continuity tandem repeat units and one imperfect tandem repeat, all located downstream 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...
