The complete mitochondrial genome of pygmy red-toothed shrew (Chodsigoa parva)

Abstract

The study of pygmy red-toothed shrew (Chodsigoa parva), which is the smallest species of geuns Chodsigoa, is extremely lacking. Also, it is classified as data deficient (DD) on The IUCN Red List. Here, we obtained a complete mitochondrial genome of Chodsigoa parva. The mitochondrial genome of C. parva is totally 17,216 bp in length and it is composed of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and 2 non-coding regions. We restructured Bayesian phylogenetic tree by using 19 species those belong to family Soricidae. The mitochondrial genome can provide basic data for further study about the phylogenetic relationship of family Soricidae.
