Mitochondrial Genome of Rattus tiomanicus (Rodentia: Muridae) and Molecular Phylogeny of Murinae

Rattus tiomanicus is a murid rodent of considerable agricultural and public health importance in Southeast Asia. The whole mitochondrial genome R. was sequenced by the Ion Torrent PGM platform. It had total length 16,309 bp, consisting 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA 22 tRNA genes non-coding regions (L-strand replication origin control region). Only TAA incomplete T-stop codons were represented genes. Of tRNAs, tryptophan (W) ACU anticodon. cloverleaf structure for serine S1 (AGN) lacked entire D-arm, while lysine (K) tRNA, DHU arm D-loop. Molecular phylogeny based on 15 mt-genes indicated having closest genetic affinity to rattus complex (R. rattus, tanezumi). There major clades Murinae subfamily namely Rattini tribe Apodemini, Murini Hydromyini tribes. mitogenome will serve as useful dataset studying systematics phylogenetic relationships rodents.
