Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome from the red-backed ratsnake Oocatochus rufodorsatus was determined. The following four distinctive features are observed: duplicate control regions that have nearly identical sequences at two different locations of mitogenome, translocation of tRNA-Leu (UUR), a pseudogene for tRNA-Pro and truncations of TΨC arm for most tRNA genes.
