The first report on complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Murina yushuensis</i> (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) and its phylogenetic analysis.

ABSTRACT: In this study, a complete mitochondrial genome of Murina yushuensis, sampled from Sichuan, China, was sequenced using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 S4 platform. Results showed that the mitochondrial genome was a circular structure with a total length of 16,520 bp, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and 1 control region. Phylogenetic analysis based on 13 protein coding genes from limited mitochondrial genome data of 10 species of Murina revealed that M. yushuensis is closely related to M. eleryi. This study provides genetic data for further taxonomic and phylogenetic researches on Murina bats.
