Title: Complete mitochondrial genomes of Tuatara endemic to different islands of New Zealand
Author/Creator: Mohandesan, E | Subramanian, Sankar | Millar, C D | Lambert, D M
Description: Tuatara are the sister taxon to the Squamata (including lizards and snakes) and are regarded as the most distinctive surviving reptilian genus. They are currently inhabits on offshore islands around New Zealand and have been recognized as a species in need of active conservation management. In this study, we report a total number of five nearly complete mitochondrial genomes, which were sequenced by Sanger and Next Generation DNA sequencing methods. Our phylogenomic analysis revealed distinct clustering of tuatara populations from the north and south islands of New Zealand. © 2013 Informa UK Ltd.
