The complete mitochondrial genome of Amphiesma optatum

In this study, we obtained and described the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Amphiesma optatum. The total length is 17,259 base pairs. Similar to most Colubridae mitochondrial genomes, there are 37 genes including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), and 2 ribosoma...

Description
Summary:In this study, we obtained and described the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Amphiesma optatum. The total length is 17,259 base pairs. Similar to most Colubridae mitochondrial genomes, there are 37 genes including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), and 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA). In addition, it contains two control regions (D-loop) rich in A-T base. The total base composition of mitochondrial DNA is 34.3% for A, 26.5% for C, 12.8% for G, and 26.4% for T, and the percentage of GC content is 39.3%. These data further reveal the phylogenetic relationship between Amphiesma optatum and other species in the Colubridae family.
