The complete mitochondrial genome of Rana johnsi (Smith, 2009) (Anura: Ranidae) and its phylogeny

Rana johnsi (Smith 2009) firstly considered as the member of genus Pseudorana, has been moved into the genus Rana. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of R. johnsi using the Sanger method. The circular mt genome was 17,873 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding ge...

Sumario:Rana johnsi (Smith 2009) firstly considered as the member of genus Pseudorana, has been moved into the genus Rana. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of R. johnsi using the Sanger method. The circular mt genome was 17,873 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, two ribosome RNA genes, and one control region. The overall nucleotide composition in majority-strand was 28% A, 29% T, 29% C, and 14% G. We discussed the phylogenetic relationship of R. johnsi in genus Rana using ML and BI analyses based on 13 PCGs. Excluding the clade of subgenus Lithobates, Rana draytonii was the basal clade to all other Rana species, which included R. johnsi as the basal clade. The monophyly of genus Rana was supported, whereas Pseudorana was failed to support.
