The complete mitochondrial genome of Tylototriton kweichowensis and implications for Tylototriton taxonomy

In this paper, the complete 16,725 bp nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome was determined for the Tylototriton kweichowensis (Caudata:Salamandridae). It contains 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes and 22 tRNA genes) and a non-coding region (D-loop). Overall base composition o...

Sumario:In this paper, the complete 16,725 bp nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome was determined for the Tylototriton kweichowensis (Caudata:Salamandridae). It contains 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes and 22 tRNA genes) and a non-coding region (D-loop). Overall base composition of the complete mitochondrial DNA is A (33.8%), G (14.4%), C (26.2%), and T (25.6%), so the percentage of A and T (59.4%) is higher than G and C (40.6%). All the genes in T. kweichowensis are distributed on the H-strand, except for the ND6 subunit gene and eight tRNA genes which are encoded on the L-strand.
