DNA barcoding reveals distinct population of Dopasia gracilis (Squamata: Anguidae) in Mizoram, Northeast India.

ABSTRACT: The DNA barcode data of Asian Glass Lizard, Dopasia gracilis, is limited in the global database, especially from India. The present study aimed to generate a barcode sequence of morphologically identified D. gracilis from the Mizoram state in northeast India and compared with other Anguidae species. The studied species showed monophyletic clustering in the Bayesian analysis (BA) phylogeny with strong posterior probability support and also discriminated sufficient Kimura 2 parameter genetic distances. The barcode data of D. gracilis revealed high intra-species genetic variability and formed two clusters in BA phylogeny. The Templeton, Crandall, and Sing network also depicted four different haplotypes within the barcode sequences of D. gracilis. The DNA sequences
