The first report on complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Murina yushuensis</i> (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) and its phylogenetic analysis

In this study, a complete mitochondrial genome of <i>Murina yushuensis,</i> sampled from Sichuan, China, was sequenced using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 S4 platform. Results showed that the mitochondrial genome was a circular structure with a total length of 16,520 bp, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 22 <i>tRNA</i> genes, two <i>rRNA</i> genes and 1 control region. Phylogenetic analysis based on 13 protein coding genes from limited mitochondrial genome data of 10 species of <i>Murina</i> revealed that <i>M. yushuensis</i> is closely related to <i>M. eleryi</i>. This study provides genetic data for further taxonomic and phylogenetic researches on <i>Murina</i> bats.
