Complete mitochondrial genome of Goniurosaurus bawanglingensis (Squamata: Sauria: Eublepharidae)

Abstract To date, only a single complete mitochondrial genome sequence has been reported for species in the genus Goniurosaurus. In this study, using Illumina sequencing data, we assembled the complete mitochondrial genome of Goniurosaurus bawanglingensis, which consists of 16,982 base pairs, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and non-coding regions (D-Loop), and has an overall A？+？T content of 61.65%. Using partial sequence data of the 16S rRNA gene of 14 Goniurosaurus species, including G. bawanglingensis, we reconstructed the phylogeny of the genus Goniurosaurus
