| the complete mitochondrial genome of eremias przewalskii (squamata: lacertidae). | in this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome of eremias przewalskii (squamata: lacertidae) is reported, which is a circular molecule of 18,225 bp in size. the base composition of mtdna is as follows: 30.3% a, 27.9% t, 27.9% c and 13.9% g. the genome consists of 13 protein coding genes, 22 transfer rnas, 2 ribosomal rna genes and one putative control region. | 2016 | 25319296 |
| phylogeny and divergence times of some racerunner lizards (lacertidae: eremias) inferred from mitochondrial 16s rrna gene segments. | eremias, or racerunners, is a widespread lacertid genus occurring in china, mongolia, korea, central asia, southwest asia and southeast europe. it has been through a series of taxonomic revisions, but the phylogenetic relationships among the species and subgenera remain unclear. in this study, a frequently studied region of the mitochondrial 16s rrna was used to (i) reassess the phylogenetic relationships of some eremias species, (ii) test if the viviparous species form a monophyletic group, and ... | 2011 | 21767655 |
