The Chinese pangolin () is an extremely endangered species, it has been banned from international trade due to a sharp decline of the population number in China. It is difficult to distinguish among subspecies, thus making it entangled in law enforement. In order to clarify this chaos, we determined and annotated the whole mtDNA genome of the Chinese pangolin. The complete mitogenome is 16 573 bp in length, includeing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and one control region. We built the phylogenetic tree of Chinese pangolinand other 7 most related species.
中华穿山甲是一种极度濒危物种,由于其在中国的种群数量急剧下降,已被禁止国际贸易。穿山甲亚种间难以区分,这给执法工作带来困扰。为厘清这一混乱状况,我们测定并注释了中华穿山甲的线粒体全基因组。该完整线粒体基因组长度为16573bp,包括13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA基因、2个rRNA基因和一个控制区。我们构建了中华穿山甲与其他7个近缘物种的系统发育树。
