The complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Crocidura rapax</i> Allen, 1923 and its phylogenetic analyses

This study aimed to examine the complete mitogenome sequence of <i>Crocidura rapax</i> Allen, 1923 using polymerase chain reaction. The mitochondrial genome of <i>C. rapax</i> is a circular double-stranded structure with a complete length of 17,517 bp. The mitochondrial genome of <i>C. rapax</i> included 13 protein-coding genes, one control region, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and one origin of L-strand replication. This study confirmed the phylogenetic position of <i>C. rapax</i> in the <i>Crocidura</i> genus at the molecular level. The mitochondrial genome is of significant importance for elucidating the genetic background of <i>C. rapax.</i>
