| gene organization and characterization of the complete mitogenome of hypsugo alaschanicus (chiroptera: vespertilionidae). | we sequenced and characterized the complete mitogenome of hypsugo alaschanicus (vespertilionidae) to provide more data for comparative mitogenomics of the genus hypsugo. the mitogenome of h. alaschanicus is a circular molecule of 17,300 bp, consisting of a control region and a typically conserved set of 37 vertebrate genes containing 13 protein-coding genes (pcgs), 22 trna genes, and two rrna genes (12s rrna and 16s rrna). the mitogenome of h. alaschanicus is at-biased, with a nucleotide composi ... | 2015 | 26662427 |
| long-term surveillance of bat coronaviruses in korea: diversity and distribution pattern. | bats harbour diverse coronaviruses (covs), some of which are associated with zoonotic infections, as well as inter-species transmission. in this study, a total of 512 bat faecal samples from the bat habitats at different geographical locations in south korea were investigated between 2016 and 2019. seventy-eight samples were positive for coronaviruses (15.2%), comprising 68 alphacoronaviruses (13.3%) and 10 betacoronaviruses (2.0%). the positive rates tended to increase during the awakening (apr ... | 2020 | 32473082 |
