The complete mitochondrial genome of Goniurosaurus varius (Squamata: Eublepharidae).

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Goniurosaurus varius is 17778 bp in length (GenBank accession number OQ992199), containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. The gene order and orientation are identical to those of other Eublepharidae species in the GenBank database. Seven protein-coding genes (COX2, COX3, ND1, ND2, ND3, ND4 and CYTB) exhibit incomplete stop codon 'T.' Phylogenetic analysis revealed the monophyly of Goniurosaurus and Eublepharidae and suggested that G. varius is closely related to the lineage composed of G. luii and G. liboensis. Distinct from other published Eublepharidae species, G. varius contains an extra non-coding region between tRNA-Thr<
