The complete mitochondrial genome of Takydromus amurensis (Squamata: Lacertidae)

Abstract The complete mitogenome sequence of Takydromus amurensis (Squamata: Lacertidae) is determined using long PCR for the first time in this study. It is a circular molecule of 17 333 bp in length (GenBank accession number: KU641018). Similar to the most other lizards, the complete mtDNA sequence of T. amurensis contained two rRNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA), 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) and a control region (D-loop). The nucleotide composition was 31.23% A, 26.06% C, 13.91% G and 28.8% T. Mitochondrial genomes analyses based on NJ method yield phylogenetic trees, including 14 reported lizards belonging to three families (Lacertidae, Gekkonidae and Agamidae). These molecular data presented here provide a useful tool for systematic analyses of genus Takydromus.
