Abstract

Abstract: In this study, we use a specimen from wild-caught individual to determine the complete mitochondrial genome of the Amur soft-shelled turtle ( Pelodiscus maackii ). The complete mitogenome of P. maackii has 16, 258 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs, and one control region. The arrangement of genes of P. maackii is identical with previously reported mitogenomes in the family Trionychoidea. According to our result, the ML tree for the phylogenetic reconstruction revealed that the individuals used in present study is closely related with the previously reported sequences of P. sinensis (AY962573 and MG431983) in p-distance 0.7% and 2.5%.
