The Yarkand racerunner, Blandford, 1875, is only distributed in China and Kyrgyzstan. Its complete mitogenome was determined by next-generation sequencing for the first time. The mitogenome was 18,743 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 1 control region. Its gene arrangement was similar to the typical mtDNA of vertebrates. The 13 concatenated PCGs were used to perform Bayesian phylogenetic analyses together with several congeners as well as two representative species of with mitogenome data in GenBank. The resulting phylogenetic tree recovered the monophyly of both and its viviparous group, with being more closely related to than to . The mitogenome of will provide fundamental data for the exploration of the mitogenome evolution in racerunners.
叶尔羌沙蜥(Blandford,1875年)仅分布于中国和吉尔吉斯斯坦。首次通过二代测序确定了其完整的线粒体基因组。该线粒体基因组长度为18743 bp,包括13个蛋白质编码基因(PCGs)、两个核糖体RNA基因、22个转运RNA基因和1个控制区。其基因排列与脊椎动物典型的线粒体DNA相似。利用这13个串联的PCGs与几个同属物种以及GenBank中具有线粒体基因组数据的两个代表性物种一起进行贝叶斯系统发育分析。得到的系统发育树恢复了叶尔羌沙蜥及其胎生类群的单系性,叶尔羌沙蜥与[具体物种1]的关系比与[具体物种2]的关系更密切。叶尔羌沙蜥的线粒体基因组将为探索沙蜥线粒体基因组进化提供基础数据。
