Abstract

Abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Hylopetes alboniger was sequenced and reported for the first time using muscle tissue. The mitochondrial genome is 16, 584 bp in size, including 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and one control region. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using whole mitogenome sequences with other 15 closely related taxa to assess their phylogenetic relationship. This mitochondrial genome sequence will provide a better understanding for H. alboniger evolution in the future.
