Mitochondrial genome of the Common burrowing snake Achalinus spinalis (Reptilia: Xenodermatidae).

ABSTRACT: Common burrowing snake Achalinus spinalis is the type species of Achalinus. The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of A. spinalis was determined by using a PCR-based method. The total length of mitogenome is 17,165?bp and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 ribosome RNA genes and 2 control regions (CR). All the protein-coding genes in A. spinalis were distributed on the H-strand, except for the ND6 subunit gene and eight tRNA genes which were encoded on the L-strand. The phylogenetic tree of A. spinalis and 12 other closely species was built. The DNA data presented here will be useful to study the evolutionary relationships and genetic diversity of A. spinalis.

Project description:The Xizang hot-spring snake, Thermophis baileyi (Reptilia, Colubridae), is a relict species of the family Colubridae, which is known only from Tibet, China. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of this species. The total length of the genome is 17,385 bp, and comprises 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 2 control regions. The total base composition is 32.5% for A, 23.8% for T, 13.5% for G, and 30.2% for C. The phylogenetic tree with 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) of T. baileyi together with 12 other closely related species belonging to the family Colubridae was built, in order to prove the validity of the mitogenome of T. baileyi.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Chinese water snake Myrrophis (Enhydris) chinensis (Gray, 1842) (Reptilia: Homalopsidae).

Project description:Myrrophis (Enhydris) chinensis, also known as the Chinese water snake, has been used for medicinal purposes, such as the treatment of ailments involving fever, headache, and joint pain. The complete mitochondrial genome of M. chinensis was assembled using next-generation sequencing. The mitochondrial genome was 17,302 bp in length and contained 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA), 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 2 non-coding control regions (D-loop). The light chain of replication origin was found between tRNA-Asn and tRNA-Cys in the WANCY gene cluster, which is consistent with published mitogenomes of Homalopsidae. The phylogenetic tree supported the monophyly of Homalopsidae species and implied that M. chinensis is the closest related species to Myanophis thanlyinensis. The mitochondrial genome of M. chinensis provides fundamental data for exploring mitochondrial genome evolution in snakes (Homalopsidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome of Bothrops jararaca (Reptilia, Serpentes, Viperidae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome, containing 17,526?bp, was determined from the pitviper Bothrops jararaca. It is the first mitogenome for the most medically important genus of snake in Latin America. This mitogenome has common snake mitochondrial features such as a duplicated control region that has nearly identical sequences at two different locations of the mitogenome and a translocation of tRNA-Leu (UUR). Besides, we found a translocation of the tRNA-Pro compared to Colubridae snakes. Finally, an unusual possible duplication containing a tRNA-Phe was observed for the first time and may represent a marker of the genus.
