The Alpine musk deer (Moschus chrysogaster) is an endangered species, which is distributed on the plateau and mountains, mainly in Neimenggu, Ningxia, Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, Tibet, Yunnan, Xinjiang, and other places. In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of M. chrysogaster. The circle genome was 16,354 bp and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 1 control region (CR). The CR was located between the tRNA(Pro) and tRNA(Phe) genes and is 924 bp in length. Overall base composition of the complete mitochondrial DNA was 34.0% A, 28.0% T, 25.1% C, and 12.9% G. The M. chrysogaster mitochondrial genome had 21 tRNA genes folded in the typical cloverleaf structure, with a unique exception of tRNA(Ser).
高山麝（Moschus chrysogaster）是一种濒危物种，分布于高原和山区，主要在内蒙、宁夏、青海、甘肃、四川、西藏、云南、新疆等地。在本研究中，我们测定了高山麝的完整线粒体基因组。环状基因组为16354bp，由13个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA基因、2个核糖体RNA基因和1个控制区（CR）组成。控制区位于tRNA(Pro)和tRNA(Phe)基因之间，长度为924bp。完整线粒体DNA的总体碱基组成为：A占34.0%，T占28.0%，C占25.1%，G占12.9%。高山麝线粒体基因组有21个呈典型三叶草结构折叠的tRNA基因，tRNA(Ser)是唯一例外。
