Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of Peripolus nepalensis, which was collected from the Tibetan Plateau, is reported here. It is 15,858 bp in length and contains 74.3% AT. All P. nepalensis protein-coding sequences start with a typical ATN codon. The usual termination codons (TAA or TAG) and incomplete stop codons (T or TA) were found from 13 protein-coding genes. All tRNA genes could be folded into the typical clover-leaf secondary structure, excluding trnS(AGN) which forms another structure. The sizes of the large and small ribosomal RNA genes were 1324 and 862 bp, respectively. The AT content of the A + T-rich region was 83.8%.
