The mountain weasel (Mustela altaica) belongs to family Mustelidae, which is the near threatened species in the IUCN Red List. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of M. altaica was sequenced and characterized. The genome is 16,521 bases in length (GenBank accession no. KC815122). The nucleotide sequence data of 12 heavy-strand protein-coding genes of M. altaica and other 20 Mustelidae species were used for phylogenetic analyses. Trees constructed by using Bayesian inference, maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood demonstrated that M. altaica was close to Mustela nivalis and they were sister to Mustela putorius and Mustela sibirica.
香鼬（Mustela altaica）属于鼬科，是国际自然保护联盟濒危物种红色名录中的近危物种。在本研究中，对香鼬的完整线粒体基因组进行了测序和特征分析。该基因组长度为16,521个碱基（GenBank登录号：KC815122）。利用香鼬12个重链蛋白编码基因的核苷酸序列数据以及其他20种鼬科物种的数据进行了系统发育分析。采用贝叶斯推断、最大简约法和最大似然法构建的系统发育树表明，香鼬与白鼬亲缘关系较近，它们是艾鼬和黄鼬的姐妹群。
