Abstract

To understand the genetic diversity of Peking gecko (Gekko swinhonis) populations in its endemic region, 60 individuals were sampled from Lushan, Qi, and Linying counties in Henan Province, China. Through PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing, 120 sequences with lengths of 652 bp (COI) and 739 bp (Cyt b) were obtained, and nine haplotypes were detected for each gene. Overall, results indicated that Peking gecko populations in China have high genetic diversity and significant genetic differentiation. This study provides necessary scientific basis for the protection of Peking gecko germplasm resources.
