The mitochondrial genome of Takydromus wolteri (Squamata: Lacertidae) is a circular molecule of 18,236 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a control region. The A+T content of the overall base composition of H-strand is 62% (T: 30.7%, C: 24.5%, A: 31.3%, G: 13.5%). All of the 13 protein-coding genes begin with ATG as start codon. ND1, ATP8, ATP6, ND3, ND4L, ND5, and Cyt b genes are terminated with TAA as stop codon, COI ends with AGG, ND2 ends with TAG, ND6 ends with AGA, and the other four protein-coding genes end with an incomplete stop codon (a single stop nucleotide T). Three distinct repeat regions are found in 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and the control region.
北草蜥(有鳞目:蜥蜴科)的线粒体基因组是一个长度为18,236 bp的环状分子,包含13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA、22个转运RNA和一个控制区。重链总体碱基组成的A+T含量为62%(T:30.7%,C:24.5%,A:31.3%,G:13.5%)。13个蛋白质编码基因均以ATG作为起始密码子。ND1、ATP8、ATP6、ND3、ND4L、ND5和Cyt b基因以TAA作为终止密码子,COI以AGG结尾,ND2以TAG结尾,ND6以AGA结尾,其他四个蛋白质编码基因以不完整的终止密码子(单个终止核苷酸T)结尾。在12S rRNA、16S rRNA和控制区中发现了三个不同的重复区域。
