Abstract

Abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of Perny's long-nosed squirrel ( Dremomys pernyi ) was firstly sequenced and characterized. The genome was 16, 573 bp in length, and its composition and arrangement of genes were analogous to other rodents. The sequences of 13 protein-coding genes were used to construct phylogenetic tree for D. pernyi and other 13 sciurid species available on GenBank. To date, this is the first species whose complete mitochondrial genome sequence was sequenced in genus Dremomys . Our results will provide information for further molecular studies.
