Complete mitochondrial genome of Chinese salamander Batrachuperus pinchonii: genome characterization and phylogenetic analysis.

ABSTRACT: The complete mitogenome sequence of Batrachuperus pinchonii (Caudata: Hynobiidae) has been amplified and sequenced in this study. The overall base composition of B. pinchonii mitogenome is 33.9% for A, 19.7% for C, 13.6% for G, and 32.8% for T and has low GC content of 33.3%. The assembled mitogenome, consisting of 16,381 bp, has 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 1 D-loop region. All PCGs, except for ND6 gene, were encoded on H-strand. Phylogenetic analysis with the whole mitogenome sequences revealed a close relationship of B. pinchonii with B. tibetanus.
