Complete mitogenome of the red squirrel Sciurus vulgaris (Sciuridae) from Korea
The mitogenome of the Korean S. vulgaris is a circular molecule of 16,511 bp, consisting of a control region and a conserved set of 37 genes containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes and 2 rRNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA). The mitogenome of the Korean S. vulgaris is AT-biased, with...

| Summary: | The mitogenome of the Korean S. vulgaris is a circular molecule of 16,511 bp, consisting of a control region and a conserved set of 37 genes containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes and 2 rRNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA). The mitogenome of the Korean S. vulgaris is AT-biased, with a nucleotide composition of 32.0% A, 30.9% T, 12.6% G and 24.5% C. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that the Korean red squirrel S. vulgaris is well grouped with the European red squirrel S. vulgaris and formed a sister clade to the Old World flying squirrels of the genus Pteromys. |
