We characterized the complete mitogenome ofPipistrellus coromandra(Indian pipistrelle) for comparative analysis of mitogenomes and for resolving the phylogenetic relationship of four tribes in the subfamily Vespertilioninae. The mitogenome size ofP. coromandrawas 17,153 bp, with a control region and a typical set of 37 mitochondrial genes. The nucleotide composition of theP. coromandramitogenome showed an AT bias with a nucleotide composition of 33.5% A, 30.7% T, 13.3% G, and 22.5% C. The mitochondrial protein-coding genes inP. coromandrause the standard start codon (ATN), two stop codons (TAA and AGA), and two incomplete stop codons (TA- and T--). The intertribal relationship of four tribes was highly resolved from the phylogenetic analysis of mitogenome sequences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The mitogenome of Myuroclada maximowiczii (GenBank accession number MT834960) has a total length of 104,216 bp and encodes 40 protein-coding genes, three ribosomal RNAs, and 24 transfer RNAs. The overall nucleotide composition is asymmetric (29.6% A, 29.4% T, 21.2% G, and 19.8% C), with AT content (59.0%) higher than GC content (41.0%). The gene arrangement of this mitogenome is identical to that in other bryophytes. Phylogenetic trees were constructed using complete mitochondrial genome sequences of 24 bryophytes publicly available in GenBank and the mitogenome sequence derived in this study. Our phylogenetic analysis revealed that M. maximowiczii clustered in a clade with other hypnalean taxas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The mitogenome of the Hypsugo alaschanicus is a circular module of 16,911 bp, which consists of 37 genes, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA), and a control region. The mitogenome of H. alaschanicus is AT-biased, with a nucleotide composition of 33.9% A, 30.8% T, 22.5% C, and 12.8% G. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that two Korean H. alaschanicus individuals were well grouped and formed a sister to the Chinese individual. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The complete mitochondrial genome of a Korean Ussurian tube-nosed bat, Murina ussuriensis, was determined. The mitochondrial genome of M. ussuriensis is 17,285 bp in length with a total base composition of 33.8% A, 28.9% T, 23.8% C, and 13.4% G. All the protein-coding genes (total length of 11,401 bp) were encoded in H-strand except for ND6 in L-strand. The total length of 22 tRNA genes was 1516 bp varying from 62 bp ( tRNA Ser ( AGY)) to 74 bp ( tRNA Leu ( UUR) and tRNA Gln). The 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA genes were 972 and 1558 bp in length, respectively. The D-loop region was 2496 bp in length. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There are two subspecies of Rhinolophus ferrumequinum currently recognized in South Korea. The Korean greater horseshoe bat subspecies, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum quelpartis, is distributed only in Jeju Island. The complete mitochondrial genome of the island subspecies was determined and revealed 99.7% similarity to the mainland subspecies Rhinolophus ferrumequinum korai. If d-loop region is excluded, similarity of the two genomes was 99.9%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The total length of the mitogenome of Rhinolophus ferrumequinum korai is 16,839 bp with a total base composition of 31.8% A, 25.4% T, 28.7% C, and 14.0% G. The mitogenome consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA (12S and 16S RNA) genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 1 control region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The complete mitogenome ofC. brachyotisis 16,701 bp long with a total base composition of 32.4% A, 25.7% T, 27.7% C and 14.2% G. The mitogenome consists of 13 protein-coding genes (11,408 bp), (KM659865) two rRNA (12SrRNA and16SrRNA) genes (2,539 bp), 22 tRNA genes (1518 bp) and one control region (1239 bp).

The complete mitochondrial genome of a jumping spiderTelamonia vlijmiwas sequenced and its total length is 14,601 bp, with A 35.5%, T 41.8%, C 8.7%, and G 14.0%. Among protein-coding genes, two genes (CO1andCytb)start with TTA, uncommon in invertebrate mitogenomes. The standard cloverleaf secondary structure was found in 10 tRNA genes and TV-replacement loop was not found in the other 12 tRNA genes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the Asian particolored bat,Vespertilio sinensis,was determined.

We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (KF668525) of Tamias sibiricus in South Korea. The mitogenome of the Korean chipmunk T. sibiricus was 16,558 bp long with base composition of 33.8% A, 31.1% T, 22.9% C and 12.2% G. Total nucleotide similarity of T. sibiricus and Marmota himalayana (JX069958) genomes was 80.4% ranging from 66.9% (D-loop region) to 97.3% (tRNALeu(CUN)). The present study will contribute to understanding taxonomic status and genetic divergence of Northeast Asian T. sibiricus populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
