Complete mitochondrial genome of the Korean Clawed Salamander Onychodactylus koreanus Min, Poyarkov & Vieites, 2012 (Caudata: Hynobiidae)

Abstract We report the complete mitochondrial genome of the Korean Clawed Salamander (Onychodactylus koreanus), endemic to the Korean Peninsula. The 16,445 bp mitogenome, assembled from Illumina HiSeq data, contains 37 genes (13 PCGs, 22 tRNAs and 2 rRNAs) plus the control region and has an A + T content of 68.6%. Phylogenetic analysis confirms it is a distinct lineage within Onychodactylus, closely related to O. fischeri and O. zhaoermii. These findings enhance our understanding of Hynobiidae diversity and evolution.
