Gloydius shedaoensis is an insular and vulnerable pitviper that is endemic to Snake Island, northeastern China. In this study, we successfully sequenced mitochondrial genomes of two individuals of G. shedaoensis. The complete mitochondrial genomes of G. shedaoensis are circular molecular with 17 222 and 17 221 bp in length respectively, which both contain 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, an origin of light-strand replication (OL) and two non-coding control regions. Compared with previously published mitochondrial genomes of Gloydius species, the base composition and gene arrangement are rather conservative. A Bayesian phylogenetic tree using the complete mitochondrial genomes of all viper species available showed a consistent result with previous studies.
蛇岛蝮是一种分布于中国东北蛇岛的岛屿特有且易危的蝰蛇。在本研究中，我们成功测定了两条蛇岛蝮个体的线粒体基因组序列。蛇岛蝮的完整线粒体基因组为环状分子，长度分别为17222和17221碱基对，均包含2个核糖体RNA（rRNA）基因、13个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA（tRNA）基因、一个轻链复制起点（OL）和两个非编码控制区。与先前发表的蝮属物种线粒体基因组相比，碱基组成和基因排列相当保守。使用所有现有蝰蛇物种的完整线粒体基因组构建的贝叶斯系统发育树显示出与先前研究一致的结果。
