Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Muskrat, Ondatra zibethicus (Rodentia: Cricetidae) in Korea was sequenced for the first time using the next-generation sequencing method to understand its evolutionary relationship and to be helpful to establish a management plan. This mitogenome was 16,350 base pairs in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and one control region. Its overall A, C, G, and T contents were 32.0%, 26.9%, 12.6%, and 28.5%, respectively. A + T content (63.7%) was higher than G + C content (36.3%). We made the phylogenetic tree of muskrat and other 12 species of order Rodentia distributed in Korea.

摘要

使用下一代测序方法首次对韩国麝香鼠Ondatra zibethicus（Rodentia：Cricetidae）的线粒体完整基因组进行了测序，以了解其进化关系并有助于制定管理计划。该有丝分裂基因组的长度为16,350个碱基对，包含13个蛋白质编码基因，22个转移RNA基因，两个核糖体RNA基因和一个控制区。它的总A，C，G和T含量分别为32.0％，26.9％，12.6％和28.5％。A + T含量（63.7％）高于G + C含量（36.3％）。我们制作了麝香鼠和其他分布在韩国的12种啮齿目动物的系统发育树。
