The mitochondrial genome for tadpole of Emei moustache toad (Leptobrachium boringii: Anura: Megophryidae) from the Southwest China and its phylogenetic analysis

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: The Emei moustache toad, Leptobrachium boringii, is an IUCN red-listed vulnerable endemic precious species in China. In this study, we first report the nearly complete mitochondrial genome of L. boringii, which was 16,557 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and a putative control region. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the L. boringii was clustered with L. leishanense. This work will provide a set of useful reference information on further molecular evolution studies of this endangered species.
