The complete mitochondrial genome of Stylodipus telum (Rodentia: Dipodidae) and its phylogenetic analysis

Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016 Jul;27(4):2568-9. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2015.1038807. Epub 2015 May 29.

Abstract

Stylodipus telum belongs to the genus Stylodipus in the subfamily of Dipodinae. We got its complete genome first and it is 16,696 bp in length, the heavy strand contains 31.0% A, 13.8% G, 27.3% C, 27.9% T. Among them, protein-coding genes take up approximately 67.90% of the complete sequence. Trees constructed through phylogenetic analysis showed S. telum and Jaculus jaculus were clustered in one branch belonging to the family Dipodinae. This conclusion was identical to the former result by the methods of morphological taxonomy, and it would be convenient for further research on S. telum and other jerboa.

Keywords: Complete genome; Stylodipus telum; phylogentic analysis.
