title: The complete mitogenome of Asian Gray Shrews, Crocidura attenuata (Soricidae).
abstract: The Asian Gray Shrews, Crocidura attenuate, belongs to the family Soricidae. This widespread Asian species ranges from India and perhaps Pakistan in the west of its range, through much of eastern China and mainland Southeast Asia. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Crocidura attenuata was determined. The mitogenome is 17,534 base pairs in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and one control region, with a base composition of 32.8% A, 31.8% T, 22.4% C and 13.0% G. The present study contributes to illuminating taxonomic status of Crocidura attenuata, and may facilitate further investigation of the molecular evolution of Soricidae.
