Abstract:
Pristurus rupestris rupestris is a gecko of the family Sphaerodactylidae adapted to the arid habitat found in the Hajar Mountains of southeastern Arabia. The complete mitochondrial genome was obtained with Illumina sequencing. The sequenced mitogenome has 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, two rRNA genes and two non-coding regions, totalling 16,993 bp. The AT content of the obtained sequence is 52.1% (A:28.7%, T:23.4%, G:14.7%, C:33.2%). The control region has an AT content of 54.3% and a length of 1558 bp.
