The Siberian musk deer, , is an Endangered species in South Korea due to its decreasing population size caused by illegal hunting and habitat destruction. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of was determined using next-generation sequencing. Total length of its mitogenome is 16,356 bp in length, encoding 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and one control region. Its AT contents are 62.4%, which are higher than its GC contents (37.7%) (A, 34.1%; C, 24.9%; G, 12.8%; and T, 28.3%). Phylogenetic relationship of genus showed topologies similar to those reported in previous studies. Sequence comparison between two from South Korea indicated high sequence variations with 122 nucleotide differences. These results provide useful information necessary for further phylogenetic studies of species.
西伯利亚麝，由于非法捕猎和栖息地破坏导致其种群数量减少，在韩国属于濒危物种。在本研究中，利用下一代测序技术测定了西伯利亚麝的完整线粒体基因组。其线粒体基因组全长16356 bp，编码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个控制区。其AT含量为62.4%，高于GC含量（37.7%）（A，34.1%；C，24.9%；G，12.8%；T，28.3%）。麝属的系统发育关系显示出与先前研究报道相似的拓扑结构。来自韩国的两只西伯利亚麝之间的序列比较表明存在高度的序列变异，有122个核苷酸差异。这些结果为麝属物种的进一步系统发育研究提供了有用信息。
