title: The mitochondrial genomes of three lineages of Asian yellow pond turtle, Mauremys mutica.
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genomes of three lineages (N, TW and S) of Mauremys mutica are determined in this study. The total lengths of the mitogenomes were 16,758 bp for N, 16 500bp for TW, and 16 494bp for S. The nucleotide composition was 26.3-27% for T, 26.2-26.8% for C, and 33.8-33.9% for A. The genomes encoded 37 genes typically found in other vertebrates. Three CSBs were identified, and the CSB1 were variable. A long tandem repeats of (TTATTATA) 30 were found in the control region of N mitogenome, but none in TW and S lineage. These sequences would be useful for the phylogenetic and conservation studies of Asian endangered turtles.
