Abstract:
The evolutionary status and phylogenetic relationships of Megalobrama species remain unclear, despite the efforts. The genetic information of Yihe bream, a new member in Megalobrama, is quite limited. The complete mitochondrial genome of Yihe bream was urgent to reveal the genetic relationships and evolutionary status. In this study, we sequenced the mitochondrial genome of Yihe bream. The genome is 16,624bp in length and structurally identical to the other Megalobrama species. The phylogenetic tree showed that Yihe bream clustered with blunt snout bream, indicated the closer genetic relationships between these two species. The genome of Yihe bream would be useful for the future researches of population genetics, evolution and DNA barcoding of Megalobrama species.

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...
