The Common Rock Rat is an abundant small- to medium-sized Murid rodent that is endemic to Australia. It is a nocturnal mammal with a mostly herbivorous diet. This species is native to the wet/dry tropics of Northern Australia and can be identified from other rock rats on the basis of its small size and its tail length (which is at least equivalent to its head-body length). Here, we describe the complete mitochondrial genome of and compare it to other Rodentia. The circular mitogenome was 16,261 bp and contained 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNAs and a control region (D-loop) of 859 bp. Phylogenetic analysis of selected, published sequenced mitogenomes reveal it is most closely related to the Lakeland Downs mouse in the order Rodentia.
普通岩鼠是澳大利亚特有的一种数量众多的中小型鼠科啮齿动物。它是一种夜行性哺乳动物，主要以草食为主。该物种原产于澳大利亚北部的湿/干热带地区，可根据其体型小和尾巴长度（至少与头体长相当）与其他岩鼠区分开来。在此，我们描述了普通岩鼠的完整线粒体基因组，并将其与其他啮齿目动物进行比较。该环状线粒体基因组为16,261 bp，包含13个蛋白质编码基因、两个rRNA基因、22个tRNA和一个859 bp的控制区（D环）。对已发表的选定测序线粒体基因组进行系统发育分析表明，它在啮齿目中与莱克兰唐斯鼠关系最为密切。
