The complete mitochondrial genome of Oreolalax major (Anura: Megophryidae).

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome of a frog species Oreolalax major is determined. This mitogenome length is 17 431 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 23 tRNA genes and a control region (D-loop). Compared with most other vertebrates, this mitogenome appears a tandem duplication of tRNA^Met gene. The tRNA^Trp gene of Oreolalax major translocates from the "WANCY" tRNA cluster to upstream of D-loop. As the first report of the mitogenome sequence from the genus Oreolalax, it will provide fundamental data for further research of phylogeny and biogeography with this genus.
