AI Article Synopsis

  • * The control region, known as the D-loop, is found to be shorter compared to similar mitochondrial genomes from Asian hylids.
  • * Phylogenetic analysis using homologous genes did not support the idea that the Hylidae family is a monophyletic group, nor did it affirm recent claims about the monophyly of certain subgroups within Hylidae.

Article Abstract

The first complete mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) for the genus (Hylidae) is presented. The mtDNA contains 17,325 bp and is similar in size, gene content, and gene location to other hylid mitochondrial genomes described, with 2 rRNA, 22 tRNA, and 13 PCGs. The control region (D-loop) is shorter than in mtDNAs of hylids from Asia. A phylogenetic tree based on homologous genes did not corroborate the monophyly of Hylidae neither the recently proposed monophyly of and .
