The complete mitochondrial genome of the endangered Chinese black-necked pond turtle, Mauremys nigricans

The complete mitochondrial genome of the endangered Chinese black-necked pond turtle, Mauremys nigricans, was determined in this study. The mitogenome was 16 779 bp in length, and the GC content was 39.07%. The genomes encoded 37 genes typically found in other vertebrates. In the control region, three CSBs were identified, followed by long tandem repeats of (ATATCATATT)₁₀(ATATC)(ATATATC)₇(TA)₁₀₂. The mitochondiral genome sequence would be useful for the phylogenetic and conservation studies of Asian endangered turtles.
