Abstract:
In this study, the complete mitochondrial DNA of Schizothorax gongshanensis was determined. The complete genome is 16,591 bp in length which contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, an origin of light-strand replication (OL) and a control region (D-Loop). The complete mtDNA sequence of S. gongshanensis provides a useful genetic marker for the studies on molecular systematics, population genetics and stock assessment.

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...
