Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the endemic frog Indirana semipalmata was sequenced. The mitogenome is a circular molecule of 17,052 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA (r RNA) genes, 21 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and a non-coding D-loop region (control region). Its gene arrangements are similar to the typical neobatrachian-type except for the loss of tRNAAsn gene. Our data, which represent the first mitogenome for the genus, will serve as a reference for further studies on the conservation genetics of the endemic amphibian fauna of the Western Ghats.
