Abstract
Based on whole-genome Illumina sequencing data, the complete mitogenome of the Asiatic Salamander Batrachuperus tibetanus was reconstructed and characterized. The circular genome is 16,375 bp in length, and typically consists of 37 genes, including 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and 1 D-loop region. Coding genes (PCGs, tRNAs & rRNAs) pieces is 15,460 bp in length, accounting for 94.41% of the total length of genome. The nucleotide composition is asymmetric (34.1% A, 19.5% C, 13.7% G, 32.7% T) with an overall GC content of 33.2%. Comparing our research data with predecessors' previous work, significant changes was found with 94.0% of whole genome sequence consistency percentage (Pairwise % Identity). We suggest our data would contribute to the evolutionary studies of this and related Asiatic Salamanders species.
