Comparison of complete mitochondrial DNA control regions among five Asian freshwater turtle species and their phylogenetic relationships

Y. Jiang, Nie, L. W., Huang, Z. F., Jing, W. X., Wang, L., Liu, L., and Dai, X. T., Comparison of complete mitochondrial DNA control regions among five Asian freshwater turtle species and their phylogenetic relationships, vol. 10, pp. 1545-1557, 2011.

The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control regions (CR), cytochrome b (Cyt b), NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4 (ND4) and cytochrome coxidase subunit I (CO I) genes of four Asian freshwater turtles, Mauremys japonica, Ocadia sinensis, M. mutica, and Annamemys annamensis, were sequenced using universal PCR and long-PCR techniques. Combined with CR sequences of Chinemys reevesii, the composition and structure of CR of the five species were compared and analyzed.
