Comparative Mitogenome Analysis of Gerbils and the Mitogenome Phylogeny of Gerbillinae (Rodentia: Muridae)

Biochemical Genetics, 2022
To enrich the mitogenomic database of Gerbillinae (Rodentia: Muridae), mitogenomes of three gerbils from different genera, Meriones tamariscinus (16,393 bp), Brachiones przewalskii (16,357 bp), and Rhombomys opimus (16,352 bp), were elaborated and compared with those of other gerbils in the present study.
