Abstract

Abstract: Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is one of the important molecular markers in studying population genetic structure and evolutionary history. Hyla tsinlingensis is an endemic species in the family Hylidae, which is only distributed on Tsinling-Dabieshan Mountains in central China. The complete mitochondrial genome of H. tsinlingensis was sequenced (18, 295 bp in length, GenBank accession number KP212702). Similar to the typical mtDNA of amphibians, the complete mtDNA sequence of H. tsinlingensis contained two rRNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA), 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and one D-loop region. The nucleotide composition was 29.3% A, 27.1% C, 15.0% G, and 28.6% T.
