The complete mitochondrial genomes of the Ethiopian endemic shrew Crocidura yaldeni s.l. (Mammalia: Soricidae) Zemlemerova E.D., Komarova V.A., Bryja J., Lavrenchenko L.A. P. 17-21 Complete mitochondrial genomes of the Ethiopian endemic shrew Crocidura yaldeni s.l. were assembled for the first time. We provide data concerning the sequencing, assembly, and annotation of the obtained mitochondrial genomes. The phylogenetic analysis revealed the existence of several lineages within C. yaldeni s.l. that was consistent with the previous studies based on mitochondrial gene cytochrome b. These data provide a basis for further studies on phylogeny and mechanisms of the presumable mitochondrial DNA introgression of this group.
