Abstract

Abstract: In this study, we report the mitochondrial genome of the black-tailed dasyure ( Murexia melanurus ) of New Guinea. The circular genome is 17, 736 bp in length and has an AT content of 60.5%. Its gene content – 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal (rRNA) genes, 21 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, a tRNA pseudogene ( tRNA Lys ), and a non-coding control region (CR) – and gene arrangement are consistent with previous marsupial mitogenome assemblies.
