The complete mitochondrial genome of the moss Neckeropsis nitidula (Mitt.) M. Fleisch.

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Neckeropsis nitidula (Mitt.) M. Fleisch. in the family Neckeraceae was determined. This mitogenome was 104,716 base pairs in length and contained 40 protein-coding genes, three ribosomal RNA genes, and 24 transfer RNA genes. The overall nucleotide composition was asymmetric (29.5% A, 29.3% T, 21.3% G, and 19.9% C), with a 41.2% G + C content. The gene arrangement was identical to that of most Hypnales genomes. A phylogenetic tree was constructed using the N. nitidula mitogenome obtained in this study and the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of 23 bryophytes and 3 Marchantiophyta that were publicly available in GenBank. Our phylogenetic analysis revealed that N. nitidula was clustered in a clade with other Hypnalean taxa.
