Mitochondrial DNA. 2012 Apr;23(2):118-9. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2011.653800. Epub 2012 Mar 13.

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Vulpes vulpes consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 1 control region (CR). CR is located between the tRNA-Pro and tRNA-Phe genes and is 1173 base pairs (bp) in length. It consists of a short non-repetitive sequence followed by 8-bp 5'-ACACACGT-3' tandem repeat between conserved sequence black I and conserved sequence black II.
