Abstract

We reported the partial mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) for Hyla sanchiangensis (Anura: Hylidae), a arboreal frog and endemic in China. The length of partial mitogenome of H. sanchiangensis was 15,664 bp, and contained PCGs (COX1-3, ND1-6, ND4L, ATP6, ATP8 and CYTB), 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 2 non-coding regions of a L-strand replication origin and a partial loop region. The overall base composition of the sequence is 29.91% A, 29.86% T, 14.58% G, and 25.65% C, with a total A + T content of 59.77%. The result of phylogenetic analysis showed that H. sanchiangensis formed a clade with other species belonging to the genus of Hyla. This mitogenome data could help in evolutionary biology and population genetics of the Hylid species.

Keywords: Hyla sanchiangensis; mitochondrial genome; next-generation sequencing; phyolgentic relationship.
