Complete mitochondrial genome of Perny's long-nosed squirrel Dremomys pernyi (Rodentia: Sciuridae).

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome of Perny's long-nosed squirrel (Dremomys pernyi) was firstly sequenced and characterized. The genome was 16,573?bp in length, and its composition and arrangement of genes were analogous to other rodents. The sequences of 13 protein-coding genes were used to construct phylogenetic tree for D. pernyi and other 13 sciurid species available on GenBank. To date, this is the first species whose complete mitochondrial genome sequence was sequenced in genus Dremomys. Our results will provide information for further molecular studies.

First complete mitochondrial genome of the Alashan ground squirrel (Spermophilus alashanicus) (Rodentia: Sciuridae) from Ningxia, China.

Project description:The Alashan ground squirrel (Spermophilus alashanicus) is primarily distributed in the regions of Inner Mongolia and Ningxia, China. In this study, we present the first complete mitochondrial genome of S. alashanicus. The genome spans 16,464 base pairs and comprises 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a single control region with a marked AT bias. The overall GC content is 35.4%. Phylogenetic analyses indicate that S. alashanicus clusters are closely associated with S. dauricus. This comprehensive characterization of the S. alashanicus mitochondrial genome serves as a foundational resource for future studies on mitochondrial evolution, species identification, population genomics, and phylogenetics.

Species affiliation of the complete mitochondrial genome of Daurian ground squirrel Spermophilus dauricus Brandt, 1843 (Rodentia, Sciuridae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of Daurian ground squirrel (Spermophilus dauricus) (Genbank NCBI KR534854) was tested by comparison with mtDNA markers isolated from Sciurus vulgaris mitochondrial genome and S. dauricus samples with reliable species diagnose. A high similarity between KR534854 and S. vulgaris was found but not with S. dauricus. It seems that the mitochondrion (KR534854) belongs not to S. dauricus but to one of the species of the genus Sciurus. Monophylies of Xerinae and Sciurinae were tested by using mtDNA control region. The monophyly of Xerinae is supported by mtDNA data provided the KR534854 sequence is excluded from an analysis.

Complete mitochondrial genomes of Callospermophilus lateralis and Urocitellus richardsonii (Rodentia: Sciuridae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genomes of Callospermophilus lateralis and Urocitellus richardsonii (Rodentia: Sciuridae) were sequenced to analyze the gene arrangement and discuss the phylogenetic relationship of species within the Xerinae. The genomes are circular molecules of 16,457?bp and 16,460?bp in length, respectively, including the 37 genes typically found in other squirrels. The AT content of the overall base composition is 63.2% for both species. The length of control region for C. lateralis is 1009?bp with 62.8% AT content; the corresponding values for U. richardsonii are 1012?bp and 62.0% AT content. In BI and ML phylogenetic trees, the monophyly of the family Sciuridae and subfamilies Callosciurinae and Sciurinae are well supported, but the monophyly of Xerinae is not supported. Within the Xerinae, the relationship of (Tamias sibiricus?+?(Callospermophilus lateralis?+?(Marmota himalayana?+?(Urocitellus richardsonii?+?(Ictidomys tridecemlineatus?+?(Cynomys leucurus?+?Cynomys ludovicianus)))))) is well supported. However, Tamiops swinhoei (Xerinae) within the subfamily Callosciurinae is a clade sister to Dremomys rufigenis (Callosciurinae). Spermophilus dauricus (Xerinae) within subfamily Sciurinae is a sister clade to Sciurus vulgaris (Sciurinae). The monophyly of Xerinae is failed to support in this study.

Discovery and description of a mysterious Asian flying squirrel (Rodentia, Sciuridae, Biswamoyopterus) from Mount Gaoligong, southwest China.

Project description:The flying squirrels of the tribe Pteromyini (Family Sciuridae) currently include 15 genera of which the genus Biswamoyopterus comprises two recognized species, B.biswasi Saha, 1981 and B.laoensis Sanamxay et al., 2013. These two species were each described from only one specimen that are separated from each other by 1,250 kilometres in southern Asia, where they occur in northeast India and central Lao PDR respectively. In 2017 and 2018, two specimens of Biswamoyopterus were discovered from Mount Gaoligong, west Yunnan province, southwest China (between the type locality of the two recognized species). This study aimed to evaluate the taxonomic status of these two newly acquired specimens of Biswamoyopterus by comparing their morphology with the two described species of the genus. The results of this study showed that the specimens from Yunnan province (China) differed from both B.laoensis and B.biswasi in both pelage colour and craniology, and should be recognised as a distinct species, B.gaoligongensis sp. nov., which is formally described here. This study contributes to the understanding of the flying squirrels of southern Asia and identifies an additional species that appears to be endemic to southwest China; however, more research is required to provide details of its ecology, distribution, and conservation status.

Complete mitochondrial genome of Antheraea pernyi strain Yu7 (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of Antheraea pernyi strain Yu7 (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) is a circular molecule of 15,572 bp in length, with 37 typical coding genes and 1 non-coding A T-rich region. All protein coding genes (PCGs) start with a typical ATN initiation codon, except for the cox1 gene, which begins with TTAG codon. Nine genes used standard complete termination codon TAA, whereas the cox1, cox2, nad3 and nad5 genes end with single T. The non-coding AT-rich region is 554 bp long. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the Antheraea pernyi Yu7 was close to Saturniidae.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Psammomys obesus (Rodentia: Muridae).

Project description:The fat sand rats (Psammomys obesus) can easily induce obesity and acquire type 2 diabetes mellitus when they are fed with high-carbohydrate diets. P. obesus is often used as an animal model for studies on diabetes and obesity. We described 16,592 bp of P. obesus mtDNA that contains 13 protein-coding genes (PGCs), two rRNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and one control region (D-loop). The complete mitochondrial genome sequence provided here would be useful for further understanding the evolution of ratite and conservation genetics of P. obesus.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Niviventer sacer (Rodentia: Muridae).

Project description:Niviventer sacer (Rodentia: Muridae) had been regarded as a subspecies of N. confucianus, i.e. N. c. sacer, and was raised as a distinct species recently by our laboratory. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of N. sacer first and annotated the genome structure. The total length of the genome was 16,308 base pairs (bp) containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and a control region. We also constructed the phylogenetic tree by maximum-likelihood method and it demonstrated that N. sacer was the sister clade of N. confucianus.

Taxonomic revision and phylogenetic position of the flying squirrel genus Biswamoyopterus (Mammalia, Rodentia, Sciuridae, Pteromyini) on the northern Indo-China peninsula.

Project description:The flying squirrel genus Biswamoyopterus (Rodentia: Sciuridae: Pteromyini) was once considered to contain three species, Biswamoyopterus biswasi from northeastern India, B. laoensis from central Laos and B. gaoligongensis from southwest China, all identified from morphological characteristics of one or two specimens. However, based on similar morphological characteristics of two samples of the genus Biswamoyopterus collected recently from northern Laos and northern Myanmar, and the small genetic distances on mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA between them, the results strongly support these two samples as representatives of the same species. The phylogenetic analyses strongly support Biswamoyopterus as an independent genus of Pteromyini, as a sister group to Aeromys. Biswamoyopterus biswasi is distributed in the northern Indo-China peninsula, where it is exposed to a series of threats, such as intense hunting activity, illegal trade, and rapid habitat loss; this should warrant its classification as critically endangered according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List criteria. Here, the molecular data for genus Biswamoyopterus and two new specimen records from northern Laos and northern Myanmar are presented.

The complete mitochondrial genome of antheraea pernyi strain qing_6 (lepidoptera: Saturniidae).

Project description:Here, we report the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of Antheraea pernyi Qing_6, an improved strain serving silk production and edible insect resource for 50 years in Northeast China. The circular mt genome spans 15,572 bp in length and contains 37 typical coding genes (13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes). Its A + T-rich region is 552 bp in size exhibiting identical sequence with the first modern improved strain Qinghuang_1. Comparison analysis identified only 12 variable sites (5 substitutions and 7 indels) between Qing_6 and Qinghuang_1. The phylogenetic analysis also clustered Qing_6 and Qinghuang_1 together first, which was in line with the breeding history of the two strains.
