Abstract

Abstract: Dinodon rufozonatum is a species of nocturnal snake in the family Colubridae, which is native to East Asia. In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of D. rufozonatum . The results showed that the total length of the mitogenome was 17, 188 bp and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 2 control regions and 1 stem-loop region. Overall base composition of the complete mitochondrial DNA was A (34.37%), G (12.61%), C (28.24%), and T (24.78%), so the percentage of A and T (59.15%) was slightly higher than G and C. All the genes in D. rufozonatum were distributed on the H-strand, except for the ND6 subunit gene and ten transfer RNA genes which were encoded on the L-strand.
