The complete mitochondrial genome of a blue-tailed skink (Plestiodon tunganus) endemic to Sichuan Basin
The complete mitochondrial genome of Plestiodon tunganus from its type locality (Pengba town, Luding County, China) was determined using polymerase chain reaction and directly sequenced with a primer walking method. The mitogenome is 17,263 bp in length and comprises the standard set of one control...

| description | The complete mitochondrial genome of Plestiodon tunganus from its type locality (Pengba town, Luding County, China) was determined using polymerase chain reaction and directly sequenced with a primer walking method. The mitogenome is 17,263 bp in length and comprises the standard set of one control region, two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs plus 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs). The PCGs were used to perform Bayesian phylogenetic analyses together with other scincid lizards with mitogenome data in GenBank. The resulting phylogenetic tree showed that P. tunganus clustered in a branch close to the species from the same genus. The mitogenome of P. tunganus will provide fundamental data to explore mitochondrial genome evolution in skinks. |
