Abstract:
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Coilia brachygnathus (Clupeiformes: Engraulidae) was determined by long PCR and primer walking methods. The complete mitochondrial genome is 16,677 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes as well as a displacement loop (D-loop). The overall base composition of the genome is A(31.21%), T(26.25%), C(27.06%), G(15.48%). The mitogenome of C. brachygnathus displayed novel gene order arrangement compared with published Coilia ectenes to date. The mitogenome would contribute to resolving phylogenetic position and interrelationships of Coilinae.

Lampbrush Chromosomes
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...
