Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the Reeves’ muntjac Muntiacus reevesi (Artiodactyla, Ruminantia, Cervidae) and its phylogeny

ABSTRACT: Abstract We present the complete mitogenome of Muntiacus reevesi. We found that the mitogenome of this circle is 16,535 bp in size and includs 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and one noncoding control region (D-loop) that are conserved in most Cervidae mitogenomes. The total base composition of the Muntiacus reevesi mitogenome is 33.18% A, 28.99 % T, 24.43% C, and 13.40% G, which is typical for mammalian mitogenomes. Phylogenetic analyses. Phylogenetic analyses showed that M. reevesi clustered with M. vuquangensis and M. putaoensis as a branch and that they are closely genetically related.
