Popis: The complete mitogenome sequence of Micromys erythrotis was determined using long PCR. The genome was 16,238 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 1 origin of L strand replication and 1 control region. The overall base composition of the heavy strand is A (33.7%), C (24.8%), T (29.1%) and G (12.4%). The base compositions present clearly the A–T skew, which is most obviously in the control region and protein-coding genes. Mitochondrial genome analyses based on MP, ML, NJ and Bayesian analyses yielded identical phylogenetic trees. This study verifies the evolutionary status of Micromys erythrotis in Muridae at the molecular level. The mitochondrial genome would be a significant supplement for the Micromys erythrotis genetic background.
