Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016 Sep;27(5):3657-8. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2015.1079842. Epub 2015 Sep 14.
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Steppe polecat, Mustela eversmannii, was sequenced for the first time using muscle tissue. The mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 16 463 bp in length and overall base composition is A (32.7%), T (27.3%), C (26.1%), and G (13.9%), which indicates a strong A-T bias. A phylogenetic analysis on the basis of 13 protein-coding genes and two rRNA genes of 10 Mustela species' mitochondrial genomes using maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) demonstrated that these Mustela species were clustered into two clades and M. eversmannii was close to M. putorius.
在本研究中，首次利用肌肉组织对艾鼬（Mustela eversmannii）的完整线粒体基因组进行了测序。线粒体基因组是一个长度为16463 bp的环状分子，总体碱基组成为A（32.7%）、T（27.3%）、C（26.1%）和G（13.9%），表明存在强烈的A-T偏向性。基于10种鼬属物种线粒体基因组的13个蛋白质编码基因和两个rRNA基因，使用最大似然法（ML）和贝叶斯推断（BI）进行系统发育分析，结果表明这些鼬属物种聚为两个分支，艾鼬与欧洲水貂亲缘关系较近。
