Abstract

In this paper, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of the common pine vole Microtus (Terricola) subterraneus, which was sequenced for the first time using Illumina next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. The total length of the mitogenome was 16,398 bp and contained 12S, 16S rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, and a 883 bp D-loop in the characteristic arrangement of subfamily Arvicolinae, Rodentia. Overall base composition of the complete mitochondrial DNA is A (33.0%), C (26.5%), G (13.4%), and T (27.0%), respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial genomes showed a classic taxon pattern, identified using individual phylogenetic markers.
