Complete Mitochondrial Genome of the Red Fox ( Vuples vuples ) and Phylogenetic Analysis with Other Canid Species
The whole mitochondrial genome sequence of red fox ( Vuples vuples ) was determined. It had a total length of 16 723 bp. As in most mammal mitochondrial genome, it contained 13 protein coding genes, two ribosome RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and one control region. The base composition was 31.3%...
