Figure 1

Mitochondrial genomes of acrodont lizards. The typical vertebrate mtDNA gene organization that occurs in most major vertebrate groups [22] is linearly shown with columns that approximate sizes of individual genes and the CR, to which changes found in acrodontan mitogenomes are shown. Genes encoded by the heavy strand are shown above the columns, whereas those encoded by the light strand are shown below them. Gene abbreviations used are: 12S, 12S rRNA; 16S, 16S rRNA; ND1-6, NADH dehydrogenase subunits 1-6; CO1-3, cytochrome oxidase subunits I-III; AT6 and AT8, ATPase subunits 6 and 8; cytb, cytochrome b; and one-letter codes of amino acids, tRNA genes specifying them.
