Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the research field of mitochondrial genomes of marine fishes, and in particular relates to a primer for efficiently amplifying mitochondrial 12S rRNA genes of various marine fishes and a design and amplification method thereof. Background technique
[0002] Fish mitochondrial DNA (Mitochondrial DNA, mtDNA) is a covalently closed circular structure, including a light chain and a heavy chain, and is a relatively independent replication unit outside the nucleus. Compared with nuclear DNA, fish mitochondrial DNA has the characteristics of large copy number, simple molecular structure, high coding efficiency, fast evolution rate, maternal inheritance and different evolution rates in different regions. Due to these characteristics of fish mitochondrial DNA, it has become an important molecular marker in the research fields of fish molecular population genetics, phylogeny and conservation biology. Similar to other vertebrates, fish m...
