title: Complete mitochondrial genome of Stummer's Racerunner (Eremias stummeri) from Kazakhstan.
abstract: The whole mitochondrial genome was determined from a viviparous racerunner, Eremias stummeri, which was collected from southeast Kazakhstan. The mitogenome sequence was 19 602 bp in size, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and a control region, which is similar to the typical mtDNA of vertebrates. Mitochondrial genomes analyses using maximum parsimony and Bayesian analyses yielded identical phylogenetic trees, indicating a close phylogenetic affinity of the sampled taxa in genus Eremias. Monophyly of both Eremias and its viviparous group is recovered. The complete mitogenome sequence of E. stummeri provides fundamental data for resolving phylogeneitc and genetic problems related to Eremias viviparity.
