Fig. 1

Circular diagram of six pangolin mitogenomes. The six coloured circles represent the six different pangolin species (four African and two Asian) aligned to each other to indicate the differences between individuals with the reference genome represented by P. tetradactyla. The outer ring represents the annotated loci located on the plus/heavy strand. The second ring represents the loci located on the minus/light strand of the mitogenome. Arrows are representative of the direction of the light and heavy strands; the heavy strand is located clockwise and the light strand anti-clockwise
