This MS deals with interesting but bipartite subjects concerning to (1) comparative mitochondrial genomics of l物种名 and (2) lphylogeography in a Chinese major lake. This MS should thus be mede up to two separate MSs; one includes mitochondrial genomics, and the other about phylogeography. See a letter to the authors for details.
Regarding the first matter, the authors made an interesting finding of the length variation of “基因名”. It is empirically known that vertebrate “基因名” shows highly conserved features with few indels. Addition of the extra amino-acid tail may be an uncommon structural change specific to the “物种”. The authors confirmed this structural change by cDNA analysis. I am sorry, however, to say that I do not know an appropriate reference describing the length conservation of vertebrate “基因名”. The authors should find it or make an alignment by themselves from a wide range of representative vertebrates from human to sharks or lampreys.
The authors' phylogenetic analysis based on the complete mtDNA sequences gave good resolution. The tree should be just or close to the true tree, and the authors can provide strong discussions. In this regard, I think “一个物种”and “另外一个物种”also have the tailed “基因”. If so, the authors can discuss on this particular sequence structure of ”基因“ as a phylogenetic signal.
I think the reorganized MS on the first matter will be a good and interesting report.
Regarding the second matter, the authors may give some phylogeographical discussions on “物种名”from China including the research lake. To do this, however, the authors should first make clear the localities of loach sequences from other studies.
If adequately reorganized as a phylogeographic report, the second MS would also be worth publishing in an international journal like '杂志名'.
The content of this MS, however, is quite immature as the present delivery. The English writing style needs improvements aided by English proofreaders. The authors' data handling has several errors. See a list below for detail.
请哪位高手帮我看看,这个编辑是什么意思呢?是不是要我把文章拆成2篇发表,还是说别的意思呢?现在拿不定主意。
