| mitochondrial genome of cricetulus migratorius (rodentia: cricetidae): insights into the characteristics of the mitochondrial genome and the phylogenetic relationships of cricetulus species. | cricetulus migratorius is widely distributed in the northwestern arid regions of china. here, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of c. migratorius is reported, to our knowledge, for the first time. it was found to be 16,246bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes (pcgs), 2 rrna genes, 22 trna genes, and one control region, and showed characteristics typical of the vertebrate mitogenome. comparative analyses of mitogenomes of cricetulus species showed that hamster mitogenomes h ... | 2016 | 27717890 |
| the complete mitochondrial genome of cricetulus kamensis (rodentia: cricetidae). | the cricetulus kamensis is endemic to china and is popular as pet. in the present study, the complete mitogenome of c. kamensis was first determined. it was 16,270 bp in length and the composition and arrangement of its genes are analogous to most other mammals. the overall base composition of heavy strand is 33.2% a, 26.8% t, 27.2% c and 12.7% g. the sequence is highly g-c poor (∼40%) and a is the most numerous nucleotide followed by t >c >g, which is similar to other mammalian mitochondrial ge ... | 2016 | 24963764 |
| two novel cricetine mitogenomes: insight into the mitogenomic characteristics and phylogeny in cricetinae (rodentia: cricetidae). | both cricetus cricetus and phodopus sungorus mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) were sequenced and elaborated for the first time in the present study. their mitogenomes contained 37 genes and showed typical characteristics of the vertebrate mitogenome. comparative analysis of 10 cricetine mitogenomes indicated that they shared similar characteristics with those of other cricetines in terms of genes arrangement, nucleotide composition, codon usage, trna structure, nucleotide skew and the origin ... | 2020 | 31669701 |
| phylogeography of the tibetan hamster cricetulus kamensis in response to uplift and environmental change in the qinghai-tibet plateau. | the evolutionary process of an organism provides valuable data toward an understanding of the earth evolution history. to investigate the relationship between the uplift of the qinghai-tibet plateau (qtp) and mammalian evolution since the late cenozoic, the geographic distribution of genetic variations in the tibetan hamster cricetulus kamensis was investigated using phylogeographical methods. in particular, population divergence, demographic history, genetic variation, and the prediction of spe ... | 2019 | 31380051 |
