The complete mitochondrial genome of Quasipaa exilispinosa (Anura: Dicroglossidae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Quasipaa exilispinosa (Anura: Dicroglossidae) we sequenced can provide critical information for mitogenome evolution. This mitogenome with 17,046 bp long contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and one non-coding regions. The overall AT content of 58.6%. The data using Bayesian phylogenetic inference supports the close relationship with Q. spinosa from the genus Quasipaa. Our results will be helpful for detail study on phylogenetic relationships of the related taxa.
