Abstract
The Asian Glass Lizard, Dopasia gracillis, has wide distribution in North India, Nepal, South China, and Indochina. In this study, a complete mitochondrial genome of D. gracillis from the Yungui Plateau in Southwest China was determined by next-generation sequencing. Similar to the typical mtDNA of vertebrates, the mitogenome was 17,133 bp in length and comprised the standard set of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 1 control region. The concatenated PCGs were used to conduct Bayesian phylogenetic analyses together with mitogenome data of Anguidae and related taxa in GenBank. The resulting phylogenetic tree confirmed the monophyly of Anguidae and Aguinae as well as D. gracillis, respectively. The mitogenome reported here will contribute to the examination of phylogeographic structure for D. gracillis and understanding of mitochondrial DNA evolution in Anguidae.
