Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of the silver chub M. storeriana was determined to be 16,709 bp and contained 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and one control region. The whole genome base composition was 30.3% A, 28% T, 25.5% C and 16.2 G. This complete mitochondrial genome provides essential molecular markers for resolving phylogeny and aiding future conservation efforts.

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...
