Complete mitochondrial genome of Lasiopodomys mandarinus mandarinus (Arvicolinae, Rodentia)

摘要

Mandarin voles (Lasiopodomys mandarinus) is a subterranean rodent species that are often used as a model for studying subterranean hypoxic stress in mammals. Its subspecies L m. mandarinus span in cropland in most area of north China and is regarded as an agricultural pest. In this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome of L m. mandarinus has been determined. Our results showed that the mitochondrial genome of L m. mandarinus is a circular molecule of 16 367 bp, which contents 13 protein-coding, 22 tRNAs and 2 rRNAs genes. The overall base composition of the heavy strand is 32.47% A, 27.04% T, 27.01% C, and 13.47% G. with an AT content of 59.51%.
