Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Boulenophrys sanmingensis Frog

A 17,414 base pair circular mitochondrial genome for the frog species Boulenophrys sanmingensis, sequenced using next-generation technology. The genome includes 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a control region, with a GC content of 41.0%. Author Zi-Yi Zheng published the data on figshare in 2026.

Use Cases

• Conducting phylogenetic analysis based on the 13 protein-coding and two rRNA genes mentioned in the description.
• Studying mitochondrial gene order and structure in the Megophryidae family.
• Comparing GC content and genome organization across amphibian species.
• Annotating and validating mitochondrial genome assemblies for related species.

Strengths

• Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of 17,414 base pairs with a specified GC content of 41.0%.
• Includes annotation for 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes.
• Phylogenetic analysis places the species within a clade, with B. baishanzuensis identified as its closest relative.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (362.6 KB), representing a single genome.
