Mitochondrial genomes of African pangolins and insights into evolutionary patterns and phylogeny of the family Manidae

Abstract Background This study used next generation sequencing to generate the mitogenomes of four African pangolin species; Temminck’s ground pangolin (Smutsia temminckii), giant ground pangolin (S. gigantea), white-bellied pangolin (Phataginus tricuspis) and black-bellied pangolin (P. tetradactyla...
