Abstract

Abstract: In this study, we presented the complete mitochondrial genome of common terrestrial frog ( Rana temporaria ). The circular genome is 16, 061 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosome RNA genes and 1 D-loop control regions. The overall nucleotide composition is: 27.3% A, 28.8% T, 28.9% C, and 15.1% G, with a total G + C content of 44.0%. The phylogenetic tree was constructed to validate the taxonomic status of Rana temporaria, exhibiting it a well-supported monophyletic branch in the group of genus Rana .
