Abstract
The complete mitogenome sequence of Vespertilio sinensis was determined using long PCR. The genome was 17,146 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 1 control region. The overall base composition of the heavy strand is A (32.73%), C (23.64%), T (29.72%), and G (13.91%). The base compositions present clearly the A–T skew, which is most obviously in the control region and protein-coding genes. The extended termination-associated sequence domain, the central conserved domain and the conserved sequence block domain are defined in the mitochondrial genome control region of V. sinensis.
