The Caucasian Squirrel, , is the only representative of the Sciuridae family in the Eastern Mediterranean region. In this study, the mitochondrial genome of the species was generated, and we investigate its phylogenetic position within the Sciuridae family. The generated mitogenome sequence is 16,234 bp. It is composed of a control region and a conserved set of 37 genes containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes and 2 rRNA genes.
高加索松鼠是东地中海地区松鼠科的唯一代表。在本研究中,我们测定了该物种的线粒体基因组,并研究了它在松鼠科中的系统发育位置。所产生的线粒体基因组序列为16,234 bp。它由一个控制区和一组保守的37个基因组成,其中包括13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA基因和2个rRNA基因。
