Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016;27(2):1101-2. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2014.930841. Epub 2014 Jun 30.

Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Trachypithecus cristatus was determined using PCR method. The mitochondrial genome is 16,557 bp in length, it containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a control region. The structural organization and gene order of T. cristatus mtDNA were similar to that of most other vertebrates. The results could provide useful information for further studies on phylogenetics of T. cristatus.

Keywords: Mitochondrial genome; structural organization; trachypithecus cristatus.
