The complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of Petaurista Alborufus

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Petaurista alborufus is 16,057 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and one control region. In the control region, it is speculated that the CSB2 have been lost in the evolution. The molecular phylogenetic analysis of 32 Rodentia species is performed using sequences from 12 concatenated heavy-strand encoded protein coding genes. The results have provided more evidence to support previous morphological and chromosomal studies on Rodentia.
