Complete mitochondrial genome of the Asian badger Meles leucurus (Mustelidae) from Korea.

ABSTRACT: The mitogenome of the Asian badger Meles leucurus from Korea is a circular molecule of 16,529 bp, consisting of a control region and a conserved set of 37 genes containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA). The mitogenome of M. leucurus is AT-biased, with a nucleotide composition of 33.1% A, 27.9% T, 25.4% C, and 13.5% G. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that the badger M. leucurus from Korea is well grouped with that from China, forming a sister clade to M. meles from Japan.
