Abstract
The fringe-lipped frog-eating bat Trachops coffini inhabits tropical and semitropical rainforests from Mexico to Brazil. In this study, we sequenced and assembled the complete mitochondrial genome of T. coffini. The entire mitogenome is a circular molecule, 16,960 bp in total length that contains 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and one D-loop or control region (CR). The overall base composition is A = 32.43%, G = 13.43%, C = 24.26%, and T = 29.87%, with A + T content = 62.31%. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed using the 13 PCGs that included 59 taxa recovered T. coffini as a taxon sister to a fully-supported clade containing the genera Tonatia, Lophostoma, and Phyllostomus.
期刊介绍:
This open access journal publishes high-quality and concise research articles reporting the sequence of full mitochondrial genomes, and short communications focusing on the physical, chemical, and biochemical aspects of mtDNA and proteins involved in mtDNA metabolism and interactions.
