The complete mitochondrial genome of Geochelone sulcata.


ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome of Geochelone sulcata was determined using PCR, Long-PCR with length of 16,692?bp. The genome organization, gene order, and base composition was similar to typical vertebrate. Gene content included 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and one control region. Otherwise, the lack of C, as same as in the other species of Testudinidae, was detected in arms of tRNALys gene in G. sulcata. In addition, an extra nucleotide A was discovered in ND3 gene in G. sulcata. The complete mitogenome of G. sulcata provides the basic data to research molecular systematics of Testudinidae.
