This report described the complete mitochondrial genome of the Saiga antelope, , from the Gansu Endangered Animal Research Center (GEARC) in Gansu Province, China. The mitogenome was a circular molecule of 16,376 bps (Genbank accession number: MF497028). It contained 13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA and two rDNA genes. The protein-coding genes had ATA or ATG as the initiation codon, and were terminated by the typical stop codon TAA, except for NAD2 and NAD3. The complete mitogenome sequence would be useful for further understanding origination, evolution and conservation genetics of population in China.
本报告描述了来自中国甘肃省甘肃濒危动物研究中心（GEARC）的赛加羚羊的完整线粒体基因组。该线粒体基因组是一个16376碱基对的环状分子（Genbank登录号：MF497028）。它包含13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA基因和两个rDNA基因。蛋白质编码基因以ATA或ATG作为起始密码子，除NAD2和NAD3外，均由典型的终止密码子TAA终止。完整的线粒体基因组序列将有助于进一步了解中国赛加羚羊种群的起源、进化和保护遗传学。
