Abstract

In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Geoemyda spengleri. The genome was 17,448bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 main non-coding regions. The overall base composition of G. spengleri is A 33.67%, T 27.64%, C 25.56%, and G 13.14%, with a highly A + T bias of 61.31%. Here, we describe a phylogenetic analysis of 16 species of Tesudines based on the complete mitochondrial genome, the result showed that G. japonica is most closely related to G. spengleri. This mitogenome sequence data would play an important role in the investigation of phylogenetic relationship, taxonomic resolution and phylogeography of the Tesudines.

Keywords: Geoemyda spengleri; Mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic tree.
