The white-tufted-ear marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is a New World primate that inhabits the coastal rainforests of eastern Brazil. In the present work, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of white-tufted-ear marmoset for the first time. The total length of this mitogenome is 16,499 bp long, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 non-coding region (D-loop region). The gene organization and arrangement is identical to typical vertebrates. The overall base composition is 32.75% of A, 26.95% of T, 26.91% C, and 13.39% G, with a slight A + T bias of 59.7%. All the genes are encoded on H-strand, except for the ND6 subunit gene and 8 tRNA genes. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence reported here will be useful for comparative genomics studies in primates.
白耳狨（Callithrix jacchus）是一种生活在巴西东部沿海雨林的新大陆灵长类动物。在本研究中，我们首次报道了白耳狨的完整线粒体基因组序列。该线粒体基因组全长16,499 bp，包含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个非编码区（D环区）。其基因组织和排列与典型脊椎动物相同。总体碱基组成为：A占32.75%，T占26.95%，C占26.91%，G占13.39%，A+T含量略高，为59.7%。除ND6亚基基因和8个tRNA基因外，所有基因均由重链（H链）编码。本文报道的完整线粒体基因组序列将有助于灵长类动物的比较基因组学研究。
