The mitochondrial genome of the black-tailed dusky antechinus (Antechinus arktos)

摘要

In this study, we report the mitochondrial genome of the black-tailed antechinus (Antechinus arktos ), a recently-discovered, endangered carnivorous marsupial inhabiting a caldera that straddles the border of Australia’s mid-east coast. The circular A. arktos genome is 17,334?bp in length and has an AT content of 63.3%. Its gene content and arrangement are consistent with reported marsupial mitogenome assemblies.
