Mitochondrial DNA discriminates distinct population of two deadly snakes (Reptilia: Elapidae) in Northeast India

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The DNA data of Indian snakes are scanty in the global database, especially from the northeastern states. The present study generated the mitochondrial Cytochrome b gene information of two morphologically identified deadly elapid species from Mizoram ...

Global Assessment of Marine Reptiles and Mammals Using a Taxonomic Distinctness Tool: Implications for Their Conservation. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study examines the global distribution of marine reptiles and mammals, revealing contrasting biogeographic patterns shaped by their distinct evolutionary histories. Marine mammals exhibit non‐random distributions with elevated taxonomic distinctness in the Arctic and North Pacific, whereas marine reptiles show phylogenetic clustering in tropical ...

DNA barcoding elucidates the population genetic diversity of venomous cobra species (Reptilia: Elapidae) in Indo-Bangladesh region

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The DNA barcode data of venomous cobra species (Naja naja and Naja kaouthia) are limited in the global database, especially from India and Bangladesh. Owing to the rapid success of DNA barcoding for discriminating a variety of species around the world ...

Divergent Specialization of Simple Venom Gene Profiles among Rear-Fanged Snake Genera (Helicops and Leptodeira, Dipsadinae, Colubridae)

Toxins, 2022
Many venomous animals express toxins that show extraordinary levels of variation both within and among species. In snakes, most studies of venom variation focus on front-fanged species in the families Viperidae and Elapidae, even though rear-fanged ...

Next-generation sequencing yields the complete mitogenome of the Shaw’s sea-snake (Squamata: Elapidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
We report the complete mitogenome of Hydrophis curtus, which is 17,702 bp in size and includes 13 protein-coding (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two control regions. PCGs, with 13 genes, are 11,261 bp in length. All PCGs use as the start codon

The mitochondrial genome of the Hydrophis curtus (Squamata: Elapidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
In this study, we provide the report of a mitochondrial genome of Shaw’s sea snake (Hydrophis curtus). The total length of the mitogenome is 17839 bp, which was composed of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes (12 s and 16 s rRNA), 22 tRNA genes.
