Abstract:
The hawksbill turtle, Eretmochelis imbricata (Linnaeus, 1766), is an endangered sea turtle in Colombian Caribbean beach. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial DNA sequences of hawksbill turtle. The entire genome comprised 16,386 base pairs, and a nucleotide frequency of T: 25.6%, C: 26.9%, A: G 35.4% and 12.1%. The mitogenome sequence of hawksbill turtle would contribute to better understand population genetics, and evolution of sea turtles. Molecule was deposited at the GenBank database under the accession number KP221806.
