Abstract:
Cheilinus trilobatus Lacépède, 1801 is a species of genus Cheilinus. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrion genome of C. trilobatus. The mitochondrial genome was 17,292 bp, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and one non-coding control region (D-loop). The nucleotide composition was 27.31% A, 25.1% T, 17.23% G, and 30.36% C. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that C. trilobatus was closely related to Cheilinus oxycephalus. The complete mitogenome of C. trilobatus provided basic data for the genetic diversity conservation of this 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...
