Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Lepus comus, the endemic Lepus in China.

ABSTRACT: Lepus comus is the endemic species in China and has been listed on the IUCN Red List in 2013. In this study, we undertook and obtained the complete Lepus comus mitochondrial genome. The circular mitochondrial genome sequence is 17,534?bp in size, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 21 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosome RNA (rRNA) genes and a longer D-loop region of 2,610?bp in length. The base composition of the mtDNA is as follows: 31.5% of A, 29.8% of T, 29.8% of C and 13.3% of G, with a total G?+?C content of the mtDNA 38.7% and A?+?T of 61.3%. The phylogenetic Maximum-Likelihood (ML) tree was constructed to validate the taxonomic status of Lepus comus, exhibiting the closest relationship with Lepus tibetanus. The study of the complete Lepus comus mitochondrial genome can provide a reference taxonomic relationships and more basic data for future.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Arctic hare, Lepus arcticus.

Project description:In this study, we report on the complete mitochondrial genome of the Arctic hare, Lepus arcticus (Leporidae; Lagomorpha) a large lagomorph endemic to the northernmost regions of Greenland. The complete mitogenome of L. arcticus was 16,972?bp long and was typical of genus Lepus mitogenomes in genomic content and structure, as the entire mitogenome contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and one control region. The phylogenetic analysis of the Arctic hare within Leporidae confirmed the sister relationship among Lepus species. This mitogenome sequence will provide a useful resource for investigations of biogeography, phylogenetic distance, and evolutionary history in lagomorphs.

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Lepus yarkandensis Gunther, 1875 (Lagomorpha, Leporidae): characterization and phylogenetic analysis.

Project description:Lepus yarkandensis is a national second-class protected animal endemic to China and distributed only in the hot and arid Tarim Basin in Xinjiang. We sequenced and described the complete mitogenome of L. yarkandensis to analyze its characteristics and phylogeny. The species' DNA is a 17,047 bp circular molecule that includes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and one control region. The overall base composition was as follows: A, 31.50%; T, 29.40%; G, 13.30% and C, 25.80%, with a high A+T bias of 60.9%. In the PCGs, ND6 had deviation ranges for AT skew (-0.303) and GC skew (0.636). The Ka/Ks values of ND1 (1.067) and ND6 (1.352) genes were >1, indicating positive selection, which might play an important role in the adaptation of L. yarkandensis to arid and hot environments. The conserved sequence block, the central conserved domain, and the extended termination-associated sequences of the control region and their features were identiﬁed and described. The phylogenetic tree based on the complete mitogenome showed that L. yarkandensis was closely related to the sympatric Lepus tibetanus pamirensis. These novel datasets of L. yarkandensis can supply basic data for phylogenetic studies of Lepus spp., apart from providing essential and important resource for further genetic research and the protection of this species.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Yarkand hare (Lepus yarkandensis).

Project description:We first reported the mitochondrial genome of Lepus yarkandensis. The mitogenome of L. yarkandensis contains 17,011 base pairs. The overall base composition of complete mitogenome is 28.13% A, 27.67% T, 22.02% C, and 22.17% G, with 44.20% of the GC content. All genes exhibit the typical mitochondrial gene arrangement and transcribing directions. Phylogenetic analysis of 9 Lepus species was performed based on the sequence of cytochrome b gene using the Maximum Likelihood method in MEGA 7.0. The results suggested that L. yarkandensis is closely related to Lepus timidus. The results are helpful to future studies on molecular evolution, population genetics, and wildlife protection of L. yarkandensis.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Aparapotamon similium (Decapoda: Brachyura), an endemic to China.

Project description:In this study, we first obtained the complete mitochondrial genome of Aparapoamon similium (Decapoda: Brachyura). The complete mitochondrial genome is 19,236?bp in length and includes 37 typical genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs genes, 2 rRNAs genes, and 1 putative control region). The whole mitochondrial genome is characterized by the apparent AT bias (72.82%). BI and ML phylogenetic analysis based on 67 mitochondrial genomes of Brachyura species show a highly similar topology structure with high bootstrap supported. The results reveal the close relationship between A. similium and Potamiscus motuoense. This study would establish a solid data foundation for further diversification studies.

Its mitochondrial genome is 16,593 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and a non-coding control region, and its gene order was consistent with other fishes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that D. macrophysallidos were clustered with other three species of Discogobio. The complete mitogenome of D. macrophysallidos provides new molecular data for the further phylogenetic study of the genus of Discogobio.
