Abstract:
The Smith's shrew (Chodsigoa smithii) belongs to subfamily Soricinae, which is an endemic shrew to China. In this study, we obtained the complete mitochondrial genome of the C. smithii. This mitogenome is a circular molecule with 17,108 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosome RNA genes, one light strand replication origin (OL), one non-coding region, and with a base composition of 32.5% A, 29.3% T, 24.8% C, and 13.4% G. The nucleotide sequence data of 13 protein-coding genes of C. smithii and other 19 Soricomorpha species were used for phylogenetic analyses. Phylogenetic tree shows that Soricinae includes two major phylogenetic lineages. Chodsigoa smithii is located as a basal position in tribe Nectogalini.

M-Cdk Drives Transition Into Mitosis
Cyclin-dependent kinases, or Cdks, work in concert with cyclins to control cell cycle transitions. M-Cdk, a complex of Cdk1 bound to M cyclin, is a well-known example of this coordinated control that drives the transition from the G2 to the M phase.

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...
