Complete mitochondrial genome of the greater round-eared bat, Tonatia bidens (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) from Brazil and phylogenetic relationships within the family

The greater round-eared bat, Tonatia bidens, is a locally rare species belonging to the highly diverse family Phyllostomidae. In this study, the complete mitogenome of T. bidens was sequenced using optimized protocols of DNA extraction from fixed cells originally prepared for cytogenetic studies. He...

Description
Summary:The greater round-eared bat, Tonatia bidens, is a locally rare species belonging to the highly diverse family Phyllostomidae. In this study, the complete mitogenome of T. bidens was sequenced using optimized protocols of DNA extraction from fixed cells originally prepared for cytogenetic studies. Here we present the complete mitogenome and place our results in a phylogenetic context with other data generated for the family Phyllostomidae. The circular genome had 16,717 bp in size, comprising 37 genes and GC content of 42.24%. Furthermore, the phylogenetic tree indicated a well-supported relationship between the representatives of Tonatia into the subfamily Phyllostominae.
