Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016;27(1):111-2. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2013.873927. Epub 2014 Jan 17.

Abstract

We present the first complete sequence of the bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus) mitochondrial genome (GenBank accession no. KF918859). The bank vole mitogenome is 16,353 base pairs long and shows the gene content, genome architecture and gene strand asymmetry typical for mammals. The sequence provides an important new genomic resource for the bank vole, which is a popular study species in ecological and evolutionary research.

Keywords: Myodes glareolus; mtDNA capture; phylogeography.
