The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Yarkand hare (Lepus yarkandensis)

We first reported the mitochondrial genome of Lepus yarkandensis. The mitogenome of L. yarkandensis contains 17,011 base pairs. The overall base composition of complete mitogenome is 28.13% A, 27.67% T, 22.02% C, and 22.17% G, with 44.20% of the GC content. All genes exhibit the typical mitochondria...

Description
Summary:We first reported the mitochondrial genome of Lepus yarkandensis. The mitogenome of L. yarkandensis contains 17,011 base pairs. The overall base composition of complete mitogenome is 28.13% A, 27.67% T, 22.02% C, and 22.17% G, with 44.20% of the GC content. All genes exhibit the typical mitochondrial gene arrangement and transcribing directions. Phylogenetic analysis of 9 Lepus species was performed based on the sequence of cytochrome b gene using the Maximum Likelihood method in MEGA 7.0. The results suggested that L. yarkandensis is closely related to Lepus timidus. The results are helpful to future studies on molecular evolution, population genetics, and wildlife protection of L. yarkandensis.
