The complete mitochondrial genome of Salamandra salamandra was reconstructed using bycatch sequences from an RNAseq library generated from muscle tissue. This study shows the potential of using data originally produced for transcriptome assembly to additionally generate complete mitochondrial genomes. The resulting mitogenome was circular, consisted of 16,331 bp and followed the standard vertebrate gene order. Subsequent analysis of the current mitochondrial genome sequence for the species as listed on GenBank highlighted a species misidentification.
