Abstract
The complete mitogenome of the common Chinese whip scorpion, Typopeltis sinensis (Butler, 1872) was sequenced and compared with another Uropygid mitogenome of Mastigoproctus giganteus (Lucas, 1835). Structural divergences include the absence of one tRNA-Leu and strand inversions in four protein coding genes (PCGs). All PCGs showed Ka/Ks ratios-1, which indicates purifying selection, with COI (0.04) evolving the most conservatively and ATP8 (0.65) accumulating the highest nonsynonymous substitutions. Phylogenetic reconstruction based on 602-bp COI sequences from seven species indicates that T. sinensis is most closely related to T. stimpsonii.
期刊介绍:
The journal retains its traditional interest in evolutionary research that is of relevance to geneticists, even if this is not explicitly genetical in nature. The journal covers all areas of genetics and evolution,including molecular genetics and molecular evolution.It publishes papers and review articles on current topics, commentaries and essayson ideas and trends in genetics and evolutionary biology, historical developments, debates and book reviews. From 2010 onwards, the journal has published a special category of papers termed ‘Online Resources’. These are brief reports on the development and the routine use of molecular markers for assessing genetic variability within and among species. Also published are reports outlining pedagogical approaches in genetics teaching.
