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 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]

We describe the characteristics of complete mitogenome ofC. brachyotisin this article. 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. The genome organization, gene contents, and codon usage conformed to those of other bat mitochondrial genomes. The total length of the mitogenome ofVespertilio sinensisis 16,971 bp with a total base composition of 32.6% A, 29.6% T, 23.7% 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]

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]

Serotine bats of Eptesicus serotinus are uncommon species in South Korea due to habit loss and destruction. We describe the characteristics of complete mitochondrial genome and gene organization of E. serotinus in this article. The complete mitogenome of E. serotinus is 16,665 bp long with a total base composition of 32.8% A, 29.8% T, 23.5% C and 13.8% G. The mitogenome consists of 13 protein-coding genes (11,410 bp), 2 rRNA ( 12S and 16S RNA) genes (2524 bp), 22 tRNA genes (1504 bp) and 1 control region (1225 bp). The results will contribute to understand the genetic structure of Korean E. serotinus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We have characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of a Korean ikonnikov's bat species, Myotis ikonnikovi. Total length of the mitogenome is 16,585 bp with a total base composition of 34.0% A, 30.4% T, 22.8% C and 12.8% G. The mitogenome consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA ( 12S and 16S RNA) genes, 22 tRNA genes and 1 control region. The mitogenome of M. ikonnikovi exhibited similar features compared with the previously determined mitogenome of a Myotis species, M. formosus. The results will contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms underlying mitogenome evolution in the genus Myotis bats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
