Cuora flavomarginata (Chinese box turtle), a semi aquatic turtle, was listed as a Vulnerable species in the China Species Red List and Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. In the present study, we reported the complete mitochondrial genome of C. flavomarginata. The genome of C. flavomarginata was 16,721 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, a control region (D-loop), and an L-strand replication origin (OL). Besides, we conducted the comparison with two different individuals of C. flavomarginata and phylogenetic analysis with closely related species. This work contributed to providing basic molecular data for the conservation of this endangered species.
黄缘闭壳龟(中国盒龟)是一种半水栖龟类,在中国物种红色名录和《濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约》中被列为易危物种。在本研究中,我们报道了黄缘闭壳龟的完整线粒体基因组。黄缘闭壳龟的基因组长度为16721 bp,包含13个蛋白质编码基因、2个rRNA基因、22个tRNA基因、一个控制区(D-loop)和一个轻链复制起点(OL)。此外,我们对黄缘闭壳龟的两个不同个体进行了比较,并与近缘物种进行了系统发育分析。这项工作有助于为保护这种濒危物种提供基础分子数据。
