The complete mitochondrial genome of the lowland paca (Cuniculus paca) and its phylogenetic relationship with other New World hystricognath rodents

Figures & data

Figure 1. Images of male (A) and female (B) Cuniculus paca in captivity. The pictures were offered from the coauthor Pedro Mayor in this study.

Figure 2. Clockwise view of the mitochondrial genome of the Cuniculus paca generated from CGView (Stothard and Wishart 2005).

Figure 3. The phylogenetic relationship of lowland paca (Cuniculus paca) with 26 hystricognath rodent species are inferred from maximum-likelihood estimation based on 13 protein-coding genes with 1000 bootstrap replicates. Support values were given above each branch. The NCBI accession of mitogenome references used was displayed following species scientific names in parenthesis. The tip marked in blue depicts the mitochondrial genome of Cuniculus paca generated in this study.
