The complete mitochondrial genome of Microhyla fissipes (Amphidia, Anura, Microhylidae) from Taiwan

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Microhyla fissipes from Yi-Lan, Taiwan was determined through Sanger sequencing. The total length was 16,729 nucleotide base pairs. The genome included distinctive 37 genes, one light-strand replication origin and one control region. Regardless indels the non-coding genes were more conserved than the coding genes within Microhyla, as well as in Kaloula. The abnormal high differences in ND5 (0.2316) and ND6 (0.2406) between Taiwan and China samples is interesting for further studies.
