Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016 May;27(3):2257-8. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2014.984169. Epub 2014 Nov 27.

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Tamiops swinhoei has been determined in this study. It is 16,513 bp in size and consists of 2 rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes and one non-coding region (D-loop). The overall base composition of the heavy strand of the T. swinhoei mitochondrial genome is A: 32.63%, T: 28.67%, C: 26.33% and G: 12.37%. The alignment of the Tamiops species control regions exhibited high genetic variability and rich A + T content (63.42%).

Keywords: Mitogenome; Sciuridae; Tamiops swinhoei.
