Abstract

Abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of Eurasian lynx ( Lynx lynx ) from China has been described in this study. It has a circular genome of 16, 996 bp with a higher A + T content of 58.65%, and the base composition is A: 32.31%, G: 14.29%, T: 26.35%, C: 27.06%. When compared with the reported individual (KR919624) from China, there are 81 variations and 58 base deletion between the two sequences. The phylogenetic analysis indicated our sequence separated clearly from Eurasian lynx individuals in the previous publications. These results could provide more molecular information for the conservation of Eurasian lynx genetic resources.
