The complete mitochondrial genome of Plagiopholis styani (Reptilia: Squamata: Colubridae).

ABSTRACT: In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Plagiopholis styani was acquired and described. The mitogenome is a circular molecule of 19,669 base pairs (bp) in length including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and two control regions (D-loop), which is similar to other Colubridae snakes. The total base composition of mitochondrial DNA is A 33.0%, C 24.9%, G 12.8%, and T 29.3%. The mitochondrial genome of Plagiopholis styani contributes to revealing the phylogenetic relationships among species of the Colubridae family.
