The complete mitogenome of the splendid japalure Japalura splendida (Squamata, Agamidae)

The complete mitogenome of Japalura splendida (16,673 bp in length) is determined and analyzed in this study. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and one non-coding regions. All the genes in J. splendida are distributed on the H-strand, except for the ND6 gene and seven...

Description
Summary:The complete mitogenome of Japalura splendida (16,673 bp in length) is determined and analyzed in this study. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and one non-coding regions. All the genes in J. splendida are distributed on the H-strand, except for the ND6 gene and seven tRNA genes which are encoded on the L-strand. The phylogenetic tree suggests that J. splendida and Japalura flaviceps formed a sister group and reveals the order ((((Acanthosaura lepidogaster, Acanthosaura armata), ((J. splendida, J. flaviceps), Pseudocalotes microlepis))), Calotes versicolor) with substantial support for the monophyly.
