AI Article Synopsis
- - The study presents the complete mitochondrial genome of the Greater Mouse-Eared Bat, measuring 17,213 base pairs with a specific nucleotide composition: A (34.2%), G (13%), C (22.4%), and T (30.5%).
- - This genome contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region, with most genes located on the H-Strand, except for ND6 and eight tRNAs.
- - The findings highlight that most protein-coding genes begin with the standard ATG start codon, while some use ATT or ATA, and the research offers a key resource for studying the genetics of M. myotis and
Article Abstract
In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of the Greater Mouse-Eared Bat, Myotis myotis. The mitogenome is 17 213 bp with base composition A (34.2%), G (13%), C (22.4%), and T (30.5%). The genome shows conserved synteny with other mammalian mitogenomes, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 1 control region (D-Loop). The majority of the genes are encoded on the H-Strand, except for ND6 and eight tRNAs. All protein-coding genes start with the ATG start codon, except for ND2, ND3, and ND5 which begin with ATT or ATA. Seven protein-coding genes terminated in a canonical stop codon, TAA or TAG, five contain incomplete stop codons, T or TA. Cytochrome b terminates in the mitochondria specific stop codon AGA. This mitogenome provides a valuable resource for future studies of M. myotis and other bat and mammal species.
