The complete mitochondrial genome of sika deer (Cervus nippon) South Anhui population is a circular molecule of 16,429 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs and a control region. The A + T content of the overall base composition of H-strand is 62% (T: 28.7%; C: 24.6%; A: 33.3%; G: 13.4%). ND2, ND3 and ND5 genes begin with ATA as start codon, ND4L gene begins with GTG as start codon, while other nine protein-coding genes start with a typical ATG initiation codon. ND1, COI, COII, ATP8, ATP6, ND4L, ND5 and ND6 genes are terminated with TAA as stop codon, ND2 ends with TAG, COIII, ND3 and ND4 ends with T, Cyt b ends with AGA.
皖南梅花鹿（Cervus nippon）种群的完整线粒体基因组是一个长度为16429 bp的环状分子，包含13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA、22个转运RNA和一个控制区。重链总体碱基组成的A + T含量为62%（T：28.7%；C：24.6%；A：33.3%；G：13.4%）。ND2、ND3和ND5基因以ATA作为起始密码子，ND4L基因以GTG作为起始密码子，而其他九个蛋白质编码基因以典型的ATG起始密码子开始。ND1、COI、COII、ATP8、ATP6、ND4L、ND5和ND6基因以TAA作为终止密码子，ND2以TAG结尾，COIII、ND3和ND4以T结尾，Cyt b以AGA结尾。
