First mitochondrial genome of the Caucasian squirrel Sciurus anomalus (Rodentia, Sciuridae)

Mitochondrial DNA Part B: Resources, Volume 6, No. 3, Year 2021

The Caucasian Squirrel, Sciurus anomalus, is the only representative of the Sciuridae family in the Eastern Mediterranean region. In this study, the mitochondrial genome of the Sciurus anomalus species was generated, and we investigate its phylogenetic position within the Sciuridae family. The generated mitogenome sequence is 16,234 bp. It is composed of a control region and a conserved set of 37 genes containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes and 2 rRNA genes.
