| mitochondrial genome of pachytriton feii (urodela: salamandridae). | in this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome of pachytriton feii is sequenced and reported for the first time. in our result, the complete mitochondrial genome of p. feii is 16 293 bp in length. similar to the typical mtdna of vertebrates, it contained 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 rrna genes, and 22 trna genes) and 1 non-coding region (d-loop). all the genes in p. feii were distributed on the h-strand, except for the nd6 subunit gene and eight trna genes which were encoded on the l-s ... | 2017 | 26714231 |
| concordant species delimitation from multiple independent evidence: a case study with the pachytriton brevipes complex (caudata: salamandridae). | mitochondrial dna (mtdna) sequence data are widely used to delimit species. however, owing to its strict maternal inheritance in most species, mtdna tracks female dispersion and dispersal only. the accuracy of mtdna-derived species delimitation is often not explicitly tested using other independent evidence, such as nuclear dna (ndna) data, morphological data, or ecological data. because species are independent evolutionary lineages that can form testable hypotheses, we present a multi-evidence ... | 2015 | 26119130 |
| subtractive screen of potential limb regeneration related genes from pachytriton brevipes. | regeneration capacity varies greatly among different animal species. in vertebrate, amphibian especially the urodela, has been used as a powerful model system to study the mechanism of tissue regeneration because of the strong ability to regenerate their damaged or lost appendages. pachytriton brevipes, a species of newt, which is widely distributed in south of china, can completely restore their damaged limbs within several months. in this study, we use modified suppression subtractive hybridiz ... | 2014 | 24390235 |
