Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the European adder (Vipera berus) using Illumina sequencing technology

A comparison of gene organisations and phylogenetic relationships of all 22 squamate species listed in South Korea using complete mitochondrial DNA

“…All three Gloydius species, listed in South Korea, had translocated tRNA -Pro gene regions, which is consistent with other previously reported Viperidae species, such as Agkistrodon piscivorus ( Jiang et al 2007 ), Causus defilippi ( Castoe et al 2009 ), Bothrops pubescens (GenBank No. MG182598 ) and Vipera berus ( Gao et al 2018 ). In contrast, we did not detect any half-sized tRNA -Pro pseudogenes from the three analysed Gloydius species, although the half-sized pseudogenes have been previously reported in a closely-related species, G. strauchi (GenBank No.…”
