Y. N. Huang, Li, J., Jiang, Q. Y., Shen, X. S., Yan, X. Y., Tang, Y. B., Huang, J., Guo, Y. F., Lan, G. Q., and Jiang, H. S., “Complete mitochondrial genome of the Cyclemys dentata and phylogenetic analysis of the major family Geoemydidae”, vol. 14, pp. 3234-3243, 2015.

In the present study, the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of Cyclemys dentata was determined using PCR reactions. The structural organization and gene order of C. dentata were equivalent to those of most other vertebrates. The mt genome was 16,489 bp in length, has rich A+T content, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region (D-loop).

L. L. Shao, Huang, D. Y., Sun, X. Y., Hao, J. S., Cheng, C. H., Zhang, W., and Yang, Q., “Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Cheirotonus jansoni (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)”, vol. 13, pp. 1047-1058, 2014.

We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Cheirotonus jansoni (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), an endangered insect species from Southeast Asia. This long legged scarab is widely collected and reared for sale, although it is rare and protected in the wild. The circular genome is 17,249 bp long and contains a typical gene complement: 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 putative tRNA genes, and a non-coding AT-rich region. Its gene order and arrangement are identical to the common type found in most insect mitogenomes.

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Marmota himalayana (Rodentia: Sciuridae) and phylogenetic analysis within Rodentia

Q. J. Chao, Li, Y. D., Geng, X. X., Zhang, L., Dai, X., Zhang, X., Li, J., and Zhang, H. J., “Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Marmota himalayana (Rodentia: Sciuridae) and phylogenetic analysis within Rodentia”, vol. 13, pp. 2739-2751, 2014.

This is the first report of a complete mitochondrial genome sequence from Himalayan marmot (Marmota himalayana, class Marmota). We determined the M. himalayana mitochondrial (mt) genome sequence by using long-PCR methods and a primer-walking sequencing strategy with genus-specific primers. The complete mt genome of M. himalayana was 16,443 bp in length and comprised 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and a typical control region (CR).

Development of swine-specific DNA markers for biosensor-based halal authentication

M. E. Ali, Hashim, U., Kashif, M., Mustafa, S., Man, Y. B. Che, and Hamid, S. B. Abd, “Development of swine-specific DNA markers for biosensor-based halal authentication”, vol. 11, pp. 1762-1772, 2012.

The pig (Sus scrofa) mitochondrial genome was targeted to design short (15-30 nucleotides) DNA markers that would be suitable for biosensor-based hybridization detection of target DNA. Short DNA markers are reported to survive harsh conditions in which longer ones are degraded into smaller fragments. The whole swine mitochondrial-genome was in silico digested with AluI restriction enzyme.

Complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the Japanese buff-tip moth, Phalera flavescens (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae)

Q. - Q. Sun, Sun, X. - Y., Wang, X. - C., Gai, Y. - H., Hu, J., Zhu, C. - D., and Hao, J. - S., “Complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the Japanese buff-tip moth, Phalera flavescens (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae)”, vol. 11, pp. 4213-4225, 2012.

We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of Phalera flavescens. The mitogenome is 15,659 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes (atp6, atp8, cox1-3, nad1-6, nad4L, cob), two ribosomal RNAs (rrnS and rrnL), 22 transfer RNAs and an AT-rich region, a putative control region (D-loop). Gene order and orientation were found to be identical to those of other completely sequenced lepidopteran mitogenomes.

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the humphead wrasse, Cheilinus undulatus

X. Z. Qi, Yin, S. W., Luo, J., and Huo, R., “Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the humphead wrasse, Cheilinus undulatus”, vol. 12, pp. 1095-1105, 2013.

The humphead wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus) is a large coral fish that has become threatened due to habitat loss and fishing pressure. We sequenced the mitochondrial genome of C. undulatus, using a normal PCR method. The complete mtDNA sequence encoded 13 protein genes, 22 tRNA genes and 2 rRNA genes. It was found to be 16,613 bp in length and had an overall H-strand base compositions of 27.3 for A, 30.9 for C, 16.8 for G, and 25.0% for T.

Complete mitochondrial genomes reveal phylogeny relationship and evolutionary history of the family Felidae

W. Q. Zhang and Zhang, M. H., “Complete mitochondrial genomes reveal phylogeny relationship and evolutionary history of the family Felidae”, vol. 12, pp. 3256-3262, 2013.

Many mitochondrial DNA sequences are used to estimate phylogenetic relationships among animal taxa and perform molecular phylogenetic evolution analysis. With the continuous development of sequencing technology, numerous mitochondrial sequences have been released in public databases, especially complete mitochondrial DNA sequences. Using multiple sequences is better than using single sequences for phylogenetic analysis of animals because multiple sequences have sufficient information for evolutionary process reconstruction.

Complete mitochondrial genomes of the Bright Sunbeam Curetis bulis and the Small Copper Lycaena phlaeas (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) and their phylogenetic implications

L. L. Zhang, Hao, J. S., Huang, D. Y., Sun, X. Y., Hao, J. J., Peng, C. M., and Yang, Q., “Complete mitochondrial genomes of the Bright Sunbeam Curetis bulis and the Small Copper Lycaena phlaeas (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) and their phylogenetic implications”, vol. 12, pp. 4434-4445, 2013.

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genomes of Curetis bulis and Lycaena phlaeas were determined and analyzed. The circular genomes are 15,162 bp long for C. bulis and 15,280 bp long for L. phlaeas, with a total A+T content of 82.6 and 83.1%, respectively. Both mitogenomes contain 37 genes, and their gene orders are similar to those of other lepidopterans.

The rock pigeon (Columba livia), or Rock dove, is a member of the bird family Columbidae. We mapped the complete mitochondrial genome of the Rock pigeon. The mitochondrial genome of this species is a circular molecule of 17,229 bp in length, encoding a standard set of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes, plus a putative control region, demonstrating a structure very similar to that of other birds.
