Abstract

Abstract: The Tibetan gazelle Procapra picticaudata is endemic to the Tibetan plateau. The species is listed as a Near Threatened (NT) species by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals and the Red List of China's Vertebrates. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of P. picticaudata and examined its phylogenetic position with other nine species in Artiodactyla. The complete mitochondrial genome is 16, 620 bp in length and contained 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, and 1 control region. Our data would provide reference information for further study of this species and be useful for evolutionary and phylogenetics studies for this NT species.
