In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the Tibetan wolf (Canis lupus laniger) was sequenced using blood samples obtained from a wild female Tibetan wolf captured from Lhasa in Tibet, China. Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with an average elevation above 3500 m, is the highest plateau in the world. Sequence analysis showed that its structure is in accordance with other Canidae species, but GTG is used as the start codon in ND4L gene which is different from many canide animals.
在本研究中，利用从中国西藏拉萨捕获的一只野生雌性藏狼采集的血样，对藏狼（Canis lupus laniger）的完整线粒体基因组进行了测序。青藏高原平均海拔超过3500米，是世界上最高的高原。序列分析表明，其结构与其他犬科物种一致，但在ND4L基因中使用GTG作为起始密码子，这与许多犬科动物不同。
