Complete mitochondrial genome of the Ussuri white-toothed shrew Crocidura lasiura (Insectivora, Soricidae)

Abstract

We obtained the complete mitochondrial genome of the Ussuri white-toothed shrew Crocidura lasiura (Insectivora, Soricidae) at 17 362 base pairs (bp) containing 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a non-coding control region. Its gene order is identical to that of other vertebrates. Several repeat elements were identified in the non-coding control region (D-loop). Phylogenetic tree using mt protein-coding gene sequences showed that C. lasiura was closely related to C. attenuata. The reports of mt genome sequences of Crocidura were not enough to study phylogenetic relationships in genome levels. However, this report may help us to understand the phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary history of Crocidura.

Sequencing and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of the large mole (Mogera robusta) from China

“…The accurate annotated mitochondrial genome sequence was submitted to GenBank with accession number MK431828. The arrangement of the multiple genes is in line with other Talpidae species (Mouchaty et al 2000;Nikaido et al 2003;Cabria et al 2006;Hou et al 2016;Guti errez et al 2018;Jia et al 2018) and most mammals (Nikaido et al 2001;Fontanillas et al 2005;Meganathan et al 2012;Yoon et al 2013;Xu et al 2012Xu et al , 2013Kim et al 2013Kim et al , 2017Huang et al 2014Huang et al , 2016Liu et al 2016;Liu, Tian, Jin, Dong, et al 2017;Liu, Wang, et al 2017;Liu, et al 2018;Liu, Dang, et al 2019;Liu, Qin, et al 2019;Jin et al 2017).…”

The complete mitogenome of Smith’s shrew (Chodsigoa smithii)

“…The entire base composition is as follows: 32.5% A, 29.3% T, 13.4% G, and 24.8% C, with an A þ T-rich pattern of the vertebrate mitochondrial genomes. The gene order and gene content of the mitogenome of C. smithii is identical to that observed in most other Soricidae (Chen et al 2015;Kim et al 2017;Wang et al 2018).…”
