Complete mitogenome of a variegated racerunner, Eremias vermiculata, from north of Tianshan Mountains, Xinjiang, China

The complete mitochondrial genome was determined from a variegated racerunner, Eremias vermiculata, which was collected from north of Tianshan Mountains, Xinjiang, China. The mitogenome sequence was 19,494 bp in size, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control reg...

Description
Summary:The complete mitochondrial genome was determined from a variegated racerunner, Eremias vermiculata, which was collected from north of Tianshan Mountains, Xinjiang, China. The mitogenome sequence was 19,494 bp in size, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region (D-loop), which is similar to the typical mtDNA of vertebrates. All the protein-coding genes in E. vermiculata were distributed on the H-strand, except the ND6 gene and eight tRNA genes, which were encoded on the L-strand. The mitogenome sequence herein will provide fundamental data for further investigating the phylogeographical pattern of E. vermiculata, along with testing the barrier effect of the Tianshan Mountains to gene flow. A preliminary phylogenetic inference has been implemented with five racerunner species and several other related lacertid species.
