The American mink, , is native to North America and listed as one of the most widely distributed invasive species into the Eurasian mainland. Even though facing serious over-hunting and habitat degradation problems, this species has successfully dispersed into most areas of northeast China in the past decades, which may have a huge impact on local species composition and structure. We determined and annotated the whole mitochondrial DNA genome of the American mink to better understand the evolutionary relationship of this invasive species with other distributing in China. The complete mitogenome is 16 627 bp in length, includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and one control region. We built the phylogenetic tree of American mink and other 10 most closely species.
美洲水貂原产于北美洲，被列为入侵欧亚大陆分布最广泛的物种之一。尽管面临严重的过度捕猎和栖息地退化问题，但在过去几十年里，该物种已成功扩散到中国东北的大部分地区，这可能会对当地物种的组成和结构产生巨大影响。我们测定并注释了美洲水貂的全线粒体DNA基因组，以更好地了解这种入侵物种与在中国分布的其他水貂的进化关系。完整的线粒体基因组长度为16627bp，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。我们构建了美洲水貂与其他10种亲缘关系最近的水貂物种的系统发育树。
