Complete mitochondrial genome of the Xianggelila Hot-spring snake, Thermophis shangrila (Reptilia, Colubridae)

Abstract

(2016) Complete mitochondrial genome of the Xianggelila Hot-spring snake, Thermophis shangrila (Reptilia, Colubridae), Mitochondrial DNA Part B, 1:1, 536-537,

The complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of Rhabdophis adleri (Squamata: Colubridae)

“…Most mitochondrial genes were encoded on the H-strand, except for the ND6 and nine tRNA genes: tRNA Gln , tRNA Ala , tRNA Asn , tRNA Cys , tRNA Tyr , tRNA Ser (UCN), tRNA Glu , tRNA Thr , and tRNA Pro , which were encoded on the L-strand. The gene order, orientation and nucleotide composition were similar to the previously published Colubrinae mitogenomes (Li et al 2016;Peng et al 2016;Weng et al 2016). The 12S rRNA(928 bp) was located between tRNA Phe and tRNA Val , while 16 S rRNA (1447 bp) was between tRNA Val and ND1.…”

Complete mitochondrial genome of Rhabdophis guangdongensis (Squamata: Colubridae)

“…The full mitochondrial gene length of R. guangdongensis is 17,785bp, which is a circular double-stranded DNA. The genetic composition and sequence are similar to that of most of Colubridae, which have been reported (Peng et al 2016;Zhao et al 2016). Total base composition was 38.7% A, 15.9% G, 23.5% C, and 21.9% T. It consists of 2 rRNA genes (12S and 16S rRNA), 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two displacement-loop regions (Dloop1 and Dloop2).…”

Next-generation sequencing yields the complete mitochondrial genome of the Shangrila hot-spring snakes (Thermophis shangrila; Reptilia: Colubridae)

“…The sequence length of 12s and 16s rRNA were 925 bp and 1479 bp, respectively, which were separated by tRNAVal. As reported by Peng et al (2016), CRI was 1175 bp, which was longer than CRII, as CRII was 1026 bp.…”

“…The total length of the T. shangrila mitochondrial genome was 17,407 bp, which was slightly longer than 17,327 bp as reported by Peng et al. ( 2016 ). The base composition was 32.6% for A, 23.9% for T, 30.0% for C, and 13.5% for G. The mitogenome we sequenced contained 13 protein coding genes, two rRNA genes (12s and 16s rRNA), 22 tRNA genes, and two control regions (CRI and CRII), which were similar to the other reported snakes (He et al.…”

“…In this study, we revealed the complete mitochondrial sequence of T. shangrila and sequenced the fragment from 3809 to 3961 bp, which failed to be shown by Peng et al (2016). We hope that this determination about T. shangrila mitochondrial genome will provide useful resources for better understanding the evolution of genus Thermophis and the whole Colubridae.…”
