Abstract

Abstract: In this study, we report the mitochondrial genome of the black-tailed antechinus ( Antechinus arktos ), a recently-discovered, endangered carnivorous marsupial inhabiting a caldera that straddles the border of Australia's mid-east coast. The circular A. arktos genome is 17, 334 bp in length and has an AT content of 63.3%. Its gene content and arrangement are consistent with reported marsupial mitogenome assemblies.
