We designed a set of amplification primers to target the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene of the rodent genus Oligoryzomys. Combinations of two sets of primers successfully amplified complete mitochondrial and partial cytochrome b (MT-CYB), from not only Oligoryzomys, but also other mammalian species from the orders Rodentia, Didelphimorphia, Primates, Chiroptera, Cetacea, Carnivora, and Lagomorpha. Preliminary sequencing analyses revealed that these primers generate informative sequences for several mammalian species important for phylogenetic and species delimitation analyses.
