Naemorhedus baileyi belongs to the genera Naemorhedus within the subfamily Caprinae. Because of small population, narrow distribution and difficult sampling, the taxonomic status of red goral in Caprinae is still not clear. We extracted the sample DNA and amplified whole mtDNA genome with different primers. We downloaded other gene sequences of Caprinae from GenBank. All sequences included 24 species of 11 genera. Phylogenetic analyses confirmed that the subfamily Caprinae is not monophyletic, bootstrap support for this cluster is high (100%).
Keywords: Caprinae; Naemorhedus baileyi; complete mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic.
