First Complete Mitochondrial Genome Analysis of Tree Frog, <i>Dryophytes flaviventris</i> and Comparison with <i>Dryophytes suweonensis</i>.

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) play a key role in species identification and phylogenetic studies due to their stable gene arrangements and evolutionary insights. Dryophytes flaviventris, classified in 2020 and closely related to D. suweonensis, lacks mitochondrial DNA data for differentiation. This gap hinders accurate species identification, highlighting the need for further genomic studies. The complete mitogenome size of two D. flaviventris were 18,616-18,617 bp and those for two D. suweonensis were 18,610-18,616 bp, the mitogenomes of the two species consisting of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and a D-loop. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that the mitochondrial DNA of all four individuals formed
