The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Nearly Threatened Kwang‐Yang Asian Frog <i>Nanorana quadranus</i> (Anura: Dicroglossidae) and Its Phylogenetic Analyses

<i>Nanorana quadranus</i> (Liu, Hu & Yang, 1960) is a high-altitude amphibian species native to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It plays a vital role in alpine wetland ecosystems and is listed as near threatened (NT) in the IUCN Red List. Here, we present the first complete mitogenome of <i>N. quadranus</i> using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequencing platform. The total length of the mitogenome is 20,173 bp (Accession No. PV546862). It encompasses 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 21 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), and one control region. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that <i>N. quadranus</i> forms a clade with <i>N. taihangnica</i>, supporting its taxonomic placement within the Dicroglossidae family. This study provides foundational genetic data for further research on the evolution and conservation of this species.

Abstract

<i>Nanorana quadranus</i> (Liu, Hu & Yang, 1960) is a high-altitude amphibian species native to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It plays a vital role in alpine wetland ecosystems and is listed as near threatened (NT) in the IUCN Red List. Here, we present the first complete mitogenome of <i>N. quadranus</i> using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequencing platform. The total length of the mitogenome is 20,173 bp (Accession No. PV546862). It encompasses 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 21 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), and one control region. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that <i>N. quadranus</i> forms a clade with <i>N. taihangnica</i>, supporting its taxonomic placement within the Dicroglossidae family. This study provides foundational genetic data for further research on the evolution and conservation of this species.
