Abstract
We present here the complete mitochondrial sequence of the critically endangered Malaysian giant turtle, Orlitia borneensis. The assembled mitochondrial genome includes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and one control region. This mitochondrial genome has been archived in the NCBI GenBank with accession number OQ808845. The Batagur control region is relatively smaller than O. borneensis and closer to Aldabrachelys gigantea, which suggests potentially that O. borneensis has undergone an expansion in the control region.
期刊介绍:
The journal retains its traditional interest in evolutionary research that is of relevance to geneticists, even if this is not explicitly genetical in nature. The journal covers all areas of genetics and evolution,including molecular genetics and molecular evolution.It publishes papers and review articles on current topics, commentaries and essayson ideas and trends in genetics and evolutionary biology, historical developments, debates and book reviews. From 2010 onwards, the journal has published a special category of papers termed ‘Online Resources’. These are brief reports on the development and the routine use of molecular markers for assessing genetic variability within and among species. Also published are reports outlining pedagogical approaches in genetics teaching.
