title: Complete mitochondrial genome of Trimeresurus albolabris (Squamata: Viperidae: Crotalinae).
abstract: Trimeresurus albolabris is the most widely distributed species in the genus Trimeresurus and mainly in East and South-East Asia. In this study, we first sequenced and characterized the whole mitochondrial genome of T. albolabris. The total length of the complete mitochondrial genome was 17,220 bp with 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs and 2 control regions. The overall base composition of T. albolabris was 33.40% A, 27.04% T, 27.28% C, and 12.28% G. Except for ND6 subunit gene and eight tRNA genes which were encoded on the L-stand, all the genes in T. albolabris were distributed on the H-strand.
