Deskripsi

AbstractIn this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of the red-footed tortoise (Chelonoidis carbonarius). The compete mitochondrial genome of C. carbonarius is 16,639 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes. The mitogenome was deposited in NCBI GenBank under the accession number OQ789392. Furthermore, we also constructed a phylogenetic tree of Chelonoidis using eight species. These results will aid the conservation of Chelonoidis from the perspective of genetic evolution.
