Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Far Eastern Myotis, Myotis bombinus (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae) is determined in this study. It is 17 128 base pairs in length with 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a non-coding control region. Its gene order is identical to that of other typical vertebrates. There are two tandem repeat sequences in the non-coding control region. Each repeat sequences contains 5 copies of 81 nucleotides and 42 copies of 6 nucleotides. Phylogenetic tree of mt 13 protein-coding gene sequences of 18 species in the family Vespertilionidae shows two distinct clades. Clade I consists of Myotis and Murina, while Clade II contains all other species analyzed.
