The complete mitochondrial genome of Siberian roe deer (Capreolus pygargus bedfordi) and its phylogenetic analysis

Due to the multiple causes, the population of roe deer has declined significantly. In this study, we analyzed the complete mitogenome of Capreolus pygargus bedfordi, whose genome was 16,357 bp long. There were 13 protein-coding genes (PCG), two ribosomal RNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA), 22 transfer RNA genes, and one control region. Nine PCGs started with ATG, while NAD2, NAD3, and NAD5 genes commenced with ATA, and ND4L began with GTG. ND6 and eight tRNA genes were encoded on the L-strand. These results provide newer molecular information, which contribute to its molecular and phylogenetic studies, and genetic diversity conservation.
