The complete mitochondrial genome of Opisthotropis latouchii (Squamata: Colubridae)
Opisthotropis latouchii is an endemic species which inhabits flowing streams in China. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of O. latouchii was determined using high-throughput sequencing data. The mitogenome was 17,051 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA,...

| Summary: | Opisthotropis latouchii is an endemic species which inhabits flowing streams in China. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of O. latouchii was determined using high-throughput sequencing data. The mitogenome was 17,051 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA, 2 ribosomal RNA and 2 control regions. The total nucleotide composition was 34.09% A, 25.35% T, 27.39% C, and 13.16% T, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis showed that O. latouchii was closely related with Nerodia sipedon in Colubridae. |
