The complete mitochondrial genome of the Ussurian tube-nosed bat Murina ussuriensis (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) in Korea

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of a Korean Ussurian tube-nosed bat, Murina ussuriensis, was determined. The mitochondrial genome of M. ussuriensis is 17,285 bp in length with a total base composition of 33.8% A, 28.9% T, 23.8% C, and 13.4% G. All the protein-coding genes (total length of 11,401 bp) were encoded in H-strand except for ND6 in L-strand. The total length of 22 tRNA genes was 1516 bp varying from 62 bp (tRNA ^{Ser (AGY)}) to 74 bp (tRNA ^{Leu (UUR)} and tRNA ^Gln ). The 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA genes were 972 and 1558 bp in length, respectively. The D-loop region was 2496 bp in length.
