Mitochondrial DNA. 2014 Apr;25(2):83-4. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2013.782023. Epub 2013 Jul 10.
Quasipaa boulengeri, an Asian spiny frog that belongs to Neobatrachia, has been reported as a de novo case of chromosomal rearrangements. In this paper, we determined the whole mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence of Q. boulengeri. The complete mtDNA sequence of Q. boulengeri is 17,741 bp in length, which contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNAs, 23 tRNAs and one control region. The overall nucleotides base composition of the complete mtDNA is A (28.86%), G (14.43%), C (26.09%), T (30.62%), with a much higher A + T content. Compared to other Neobatrachia species, the mtDNA genome of Q. boulengeri shows a novel gene order at WANCY region.
棘腹蛙是一种亚洲棘蛙，属于新蛙亚目，已被报道为染色体重排的一个新病例。在本文中，我们测定了棘腹蛙的全线粒体DNA（mtDNA）序列。棘腹蛙的完整mtDNA序列长度为17741 bp，包含13个蛋白质编码基因（PCGs）、两个rRNA、23个tRNA和一个控制区。完整mtDNA的总体核苷酸碱基组成为A（28.86%）、G（14.43%）、C（26.09%）、T（30.62%），A+T含量更高。与其他新蛙亚目物种相比，棘腹蛙的mtDNA基因组在WANCY区域显示出一种新的基因顺序。
