The complete mitochondrial genome of Omei Treefrog (Rhacophorus omeimontis)

Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Rhacophorus omeimontis was obtained and described. The sequenced mitogenome is total 19,604 base pairs (bp) in length, which contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGS), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and 2 control regions (D-loop). The overall base composition of the mitochondrial DNA is 32.5% for A, 30.5% for T, 23.3% for C, and 13.7% for G, and the percentage of GC content is 37.0%. The complete mitochondrial genome information of R. omeimontis will contribute to revealing the phylogenetic relationships among species of family Rhacophoridae.
