Abstract:
The king horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus rex) is endemic to China. Here, we characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of R. rex using next-generation sequencing and Sanger sequencing. The mitogenome is 16 845 bp in length and contains 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, and a non-coding control region. Our traditional Sanger sequencing verified that mtDNA sequences generated from next-generation sequencing are reliable. The mitogenome of R. rex will be useful for the conservation genetics of this endangered species.
