Complete mitochondrial genome sequence ofNectogale elegans

Abstract

The elegant water shrew (Nectogale elegans) belongs to the family Soricidae, and distributes in northern South Asia, central and southern China and northern Southeast Asia. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of N. elegans was sequenced. It was determined to be 17,460 bases, and included 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and one non-coding region, which is similar to other mammalian mitochondrial genomes. Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood methods were used to construct phylogenetic trees based on 12 heavy-strand concatenated PCGs. Phylogenetic analyses further confirmed that Crocidurinae diverged prior to Soricinae, and Sorex unguiculatus differentiated earlier than N. elegans.

Sequencing and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of the masked shrew (Sorex caecutiens) from China

“…The accurate annotated mitochondrial genome sequence was submitted to GenBank with accession number MF374796. The arrangement of the multiple genes is in line with other Soricidae species (Nikaido et al 2001;Fontanillas et al 2005;Huang et al 2014Huang et al , 2016Xu et al 2016) and most mammals (Meganathan et al 2012;Xu et al 2012Xu et al , 2013Yoon et al 2013).…”
