Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of Ypthima baldus was determined and analysed for the first time. It is a circular molecule of 15,304 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes (12S and 16S), 22 tRNA genes (tRNAs), and 1 AT-rich region. The total base composition is 38.6% of A, 7.5% of G, 42.2% of T, and 11.7% of C, respectively. In addition, phylogenetic analysis was carried out with 13 PCGs using the Bayesian Inference (BI) method. The complete mitogenome of Y. baldus will play an important role in population genetics and phylogenetic studies of the species in the future.
