The mitochondrial genome of the black-tailed dasyure (Murexia melanurus)

In this study, we report the mitochondrial genome of the black-tailed dasyure (Murexia melanurus) of New Guinea. The circular genome is 17,736?bp in length and has an AT content of 60.5%. Its gene content ? 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal (rRNA) genes, 21 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, a tRNA pseudogene (tRNA(Lys)), and a non-coding control region (CR) ? and gene arrangement are consistent with previous marsupial mitogenome assemblies.
