Abstract:
In this article we report the complete mitochondrial genome of the servant mouse, Mus famulus for the first time. The genome size is 16,291 bp. The mitogenome contained a total of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 control region. The base composition was A (34.4%), C(24.1%), G (12.2%), and T(29.3%), indicating that the percentage of A and T (63.7%) was higher than that of G and C. Most of these genes were distributed on the H-strand, except for the ND6 subunit gene and eight tRNA genes. A phylogenomic analysis of the 10 complete chloroplast genomes supports that M. famulus is a member of the subgenus Mus.
