We present the first mitochondrial genome sequence of the great hammerhead shark, . This species is of considerable conservation concern throughout its global distribution, and currently listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. The mitochondrial genome is 16,719 bp in length with 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and a non-coding control region. The gene arrangement is congruent with other shark and most vertebrate species. This mitogenome provides a genomic resource for assisting with population studies and conservation efforts for this highly depleted species.
我们公布了大锤头鲨的首个线粒体基因组序列。该物种在其全球分布范围内备受保护关注，目前在国际自然保护联盟红色名录中被列为濒危物种。线粒体基因组长度为16,719碱基对，包含13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA基因、2个rRNA基因和一个非编码控制区。基因排列与其他鲨鱼及大多数脊椎动物物种一致。这个线粒体基因组为协助开展针对这种极度濒危物种的种群研究和保护工作提供了一个基因组资源。
