The complete mitochondrial genome Hainan Gymnure, Neohylomys hainanensis

<ns3:p>The Hainan Gymnure <ns3:italic>Neohylomys hainanensis</ns3:italic> is a small-size mammal which occurs in Hainan, China and north Vietnam. Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of <ns3:italic>N. hainanensis.</ns3:italic> The whole mitochondrial genome is 17,337 bp, and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs and one control region. The base composition of the <ns3:italic>N. hainanensis</ns3:italic> total mitogenome is: 33.4% A, 12.2% G, 33.1% T, and C 21.3%, with an A + T content of 66.5%. The K2P genetic distance analysis supports current taxonomy that places <ns3:italic>N. hainanensis</ns3:italic>, <ns3:italic>Hylomys suillus</ns3:italic> and <ns3:italic>Neotetracus sinensis</ns3:italic> in different genera. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that <ns3:italic>N</ns3:italic> <ns3:italic>. hainanensis</ns3:italic> is closely related to <ns3:italic>Neotetracus sinensis</ns3:italic> based on the complete mitochondrial genome sequences. The mitogenomic data will contribute to molecular phylogenetics and conservation genetics of the species.</ns3:p>
