Abstract:Mitochondrial genomes of five Laotian Rock Rat (
Laonastes aenigmamus
) samples from Vietnam and Laos were sequenced using an Illumina platform. After
de novo
assembly, 13 protein-coding genes and two rRNA (12S and 16S) of the five genomes were aligned and analyzed with those from other related species under maximum likelihood and Bayesian inferences. Both methods revealed congruent tree topologies, which support two independently evolving clades of
