Abstract:
We reported complete mitochondrial genome of neotropical Parnell's mustached bat Pteronotus parnellii (16,564 bp in length). Its mitochondrial genome consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 1 control region. The base composition of mtDNA was A (33.1%), G (13.7%), C (27.3%), T (25.9%), and the percentage of A and T (59.0%) was higher than G and C. All the genes in P. parnellii were distributed on the H-strand, except for the ND6 subunit gene and 10 tRNA genes, which were encoded on the L-strand. The new sequenced mitochondrial genome will contribute to our understanding of the systematic evolution in the bats.
