The complete mitochondrial genome of Japanese macaque, Macaca fuscata fuscata [Macaca, Cercopithecinae)

摘要

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Japanese macaque, Macaca too fuscata, with the total length of 16,565 bp, is determined for the first time. This mitogenome harbors 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 control region (D-loop). The overall base composition is A (31.7%), C (30.5%), G (12.9%), andT (24.9%), so the slight A-T bias (56.6%) was detected. Most of the genes are distributed on H-strand, except for the ND6 subunit gene and eighttRNA genes. The complete mitochondrial jenome sequence reported here will provide new genetic resource to uncover the monkey's evolution.
