The complete mitochondrial genome of Talpa martinorum (Mammalia: Talpidae), a mole species endemic to Thrace: genome content and phylogenetic considerations
The complete mitogenome sequence of Talpa martinorum , a recently described Balkan endemic mole, was assembled from next generation sequence data. The mitogenome is similar to that of the three other Talpa species sequenced to date, being 16,835 bp in length, and containing 13 protein-coding genes,...

Zusammenfassung: | The complete mitogenome sequence of
Talpa martinorum
, a recently described Balkan endemic mole, was assembled from next generation sequence data. The mitogenome is similar to that of the three other
Talpa
species sequenced to date, being 16,835 bp in length, and containing 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, an origin of L-strand replication, and a control region or D-loop. Compared to other
Talpa
mitogenomes sequenced to date, that of
T. martinorum
differs in the length of D-loop and stop codon usage. TAG and T-- are the stop codons for the
ND1
and
ATP8
genes, respectively, in
T. martinorum
, whilst TAA acts as a stop codon for both
ND1
and
ATP8
in the other three
Talpa
species sequenced. Phylogeny reconstructions based on Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses yielded phylogenies with similar topologies, demonstrating that
T. martinorum
nests within the western lineage of the genus, being closely related to
T. aquitania
and
T. occidentalis
