Organisation of the mitochondrial genome from Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar )

A restriction map of Atlantic salmon mitochondrial DNA was constructed. The smallest XbaI fragment of the salmon mitochondrial genome was cloned and subjected to partial DNA sequence analysis. This fragment contains the genes for ATPase 6 and cytochrome oxidase III. The putative organisation of the...

Description
Summary:A restriction map of Atlantic salmon mitochondrial DNA was constructed. The smallest XbaI fragment of the salmon mitochondrial genome was cloned and subjected to partial DNA sequence analysis. This fragment contains the genes for ATPase 6 and cytochrome oxidase III. The putative organisation of the mitochondrial genome relative to the physical map is shown.Key words: salmonid, mitochondrial DNA, restriction map, sequence analysis.
