Abstract

We newly sequenced the near complete mitochondrial genome of Polypedates braueri. The total length of the P. braueri partial mitogenome is 13 144 bp, with GenBank accession no. KT921226. It consists of 11 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and 18 transfer RNA genes (tRNA). Most of the genes are encoded on the H-strand, except for seven tRNA and ND6, which are encoded on the L-strand. Our mitogenomic phylogenetic tree shows that the relationships between the genera Rhacophorus and Polypedates were well supported.

Keywords: Mitochondrial genome; Polypedates braueri; phylogenetic analysis.
