title: Cloning and sequences of beta-actin genes from Rhodeus notatus and the silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (cyprinidae) and the phylogeny of Cyprinid fishes inferred from beta-actin genes.
abstract: Complete beta-actin genes from Rhodeus notatus and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (silver carp) were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and cloned into pCRII vector for further characterization. The beta-actin genes of these two fishes were 1718 and 1755 bp in sequence length, respectively, and both of them contained 5 exons and 4 introns. The exon and intron boundaries were identified with the GT/AG rule. The phylogenetic implications of beta-actin gene in the family Cyprinidae were shortly discussed.
