| complete mitochondrial genome of the chinese oriental vole eothenomys chinensis (rodentia: arvicolinae). | the chinese oriental vole (eothenomys chinensis) belongs to subfamily arvicolinae, which is endemic to the mountains in southwest china. e. chinensis and other arvicoline species display a number of features that make them ideal for evolutionary studies of speciation and the role of quaternary glacial cycles on diversification. in this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of e. chinensis was sequenced. it was determined to be 16,362 bases. the nucleotide sequence data of 12 heavy-strand prot ... | 2012 | 22397384 |
| dna barcoding of murinae (rodentia: muridae) and arvicolinae (rodentia: cricetidae) distributed in china. | identification of rodents is very difficult mainly due to high similarities in morphology and controversial taxonomy. in this study, mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit i (coi) was used as dna barcode to identify the murinae and arvicolinae species distributed in china and to facilitate the systematics studies of rodentia. in total, 242 sequences (31 species, 11 genera) from murinae and 130 sequences (23 species, 6 genera) from arvicolinae were investigated, of which 90 individuals were nov ... | 2015 | 24838015 |
