Mitochondrial DNA B Resour. 2018 Sep 10;3(2):852-853. doi: 10.1080/23802359.2018.1450663.

Abstract

In this study, we undertook the first complete Ochotona erythrotis mitochondrial genome. The genome sequence was 16,663 bp in length, including the typical structure of 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and the non-coding control region. The overall base composition of O. erythrotis mitogenome is 31.8% A, 26.0% T, 28.6% G, and 13.6% C, with a high A + T content of 57.8%.

Keywords: Mitochondrial genome; Ochotona erythrotis; phylogenetic relationship.
