Abstract

Quasipaa boulengeri, an Asian spiny frog that belongs to Neobatrachia, has been reported as a de novo case of chromosomal rearrangements. In this paper, we determined the whole mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence of Q. boulengeri. The complete mtDNA sequence of Q. boulengeri is 17,741 bp in length, which contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNAs, 23 tRNAs and one control region. The overall nucleotides base composition of the complete mtDNA is A (28.86%), G (14.43%), C (26.09%), T (30.62%), with a much higher A + T content. Compared to other Neobatrachia species, the mtDNA genome of Q. boulengeri shows a novel gene order at WANCY region.
