The Allegheny woodrat () is endemic to the eastern United States. Population numbers have decreased rapidly over the last four decades due to habitat fragmentation, disease-related mortality, genetic isolation and inbreeding depression; however, effective management is hampered by limited genetic resources. To begin addressing this need, we sequenced and assembled the entire Allegheny woodrat mitochondrial genome. The genome assembly is 16,310 base pairs in length, with an overall base composition of 34% adenine, 27% thymine, 26% cytosine and 13% guanine. This resource will facilitate our understanding of woodrat population genetics and behavioral ecology.
阿勒格尼林鼠（）原产于美国东部。在过去四十年中，由于栖息地破碎化、疾病相关死亡率、基因隔离和近亲繁殖衰退，其种群数量迅速减少；然而，有限的遗传资源阻碍了有效的管理。为了开始满足这一需求，我们对整个阿勒格尼林鼠线粒体基因组进行了测序和组装。基因组组装长度为16310个碱基对，总体碱基组成为34%的腺嘌呤、27%的胸腺嘧啶、26%的胞嘧啶和13%的鸟嘌呤。这一资源将有助于我们理解林鼠种群遗传学和行为生态学。
