The Egyptian mongoose, , is the only extant mongoose in Europe, with populations still distributed in Africa and the Middle East. In this study, we present the first mitochondrial genome sequence of and we investigate its phylogenetic position within Feliformia suborder. The resultant mitogenome sequence is 16,775 bps, composed of a conserved set of 37 genes containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region. Our results represent a valuable resource for further phylogeographical studies.
埃及獴是欧洲现存的唯一一种獴，其种群仍分布在非洲和中东地区。在本研究中，我们展示了埃及獴的首个线粒体基因组序列，并研究了它在猫型亚目内的系统发育位置。所得的线粒体基因组序列为16,775个碱基对，由一组保守的37个基因组成，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。我们的研究结果为进一步的系统地理学研究提供了宝贵资源。
