The complete mitochondrial genome of western Mediterranean mouse, Mus spretus (Rodentia: Muridae)

Abstract

The western Mediterranean mouse (Mus spretus) is a wide-spread and well-studied small mammal species in Europe. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of this species for the first time. Data analysis shows that this mitogenome is entirely 16,286 bp in length and has a conservative genomic organization and gene order as most other mice. The overall nucleotide base composition is 34.1% of A, 28.6% of T, 24.6% C, and 12.7% G, with a strong A + T bias of 62.7%. All the genes are encoded on H-strand, except for the ND6 subunit gene and 8 tRNA genes, which are distributed on the L-strand. Totally 13 protein-coding genes initiate with ATN/GTG start codon and terminate with the typical stop codon (TAA/TAG) or a single T (T- -). Most of the transfer RNA genes could fold into the typical clover-leaf structure except for tRNA(Leu) and tRNA(Ser), whose dihydrouridine (DHU) arm are lost. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence reported here will be useful for population genetic and phylogenetic studies in mice.

“…The accurate annotated mitochondrial genome sequence was submitted to GenBank with accession number MW364625. The arrangement of the multiple genes is in line with other Muridae species (Robins et al 2008;Chen et al 2012;Jing et al 2015;Chang et al 2016;Yong et al 2016;Zhang et al 2016;Wei et al 2017;Lv et al 2019) and most mammals (Mouchaty et al 2000;Nikaido et al 2001;Nikaido et al 2003;Fontanillas et al 2005;Cabria et al 2006;Meganathan et al 2012;Yoon et al 2013;Xu et al 2012Xu et al , 2013Kim et al 2013Kim et al , 2017Hou et al 2016;Huang et al 2014Huang et al , 2016Xu et al 2016;Liu et al 2016;Liu, Tian, Jin, Jin, et al 2017;Liu, Tian, Jin, Dong, et al 2017;Liu et al 2018;Liu, Dang, et al 2019;Liu, Qin, et al 2019;Jin et al 2017;Guti errez et al 2018;Jia et al 2018).…”

House mouse Mus musculus dispersal in East Eurasia inferred from 98 newly determined complete mitochondrial genome sequences

“…For further analysis, the original sequences were aligned using MUSCLE implemented in MEGA7 (Kumar et al 2016 ) to ensure the consistency of the mitogenome sequences and to remove alignment gaps (16,038 bp). We downloaded the mitogenome reference sequence of Mus spretus from a public database (accession number: NC_025952, Chang et al 2016 ) and obtained aligned mitogenome sequences (15,185 bp).…”
