The complete mitochondrial genome of Daurian pika (Ochotona dauurica)

AbstractIn this study, we sequenced and uploaded the complete mitochondrial genome of Daurian pika (Ochotona dauurica) for the first time using tissue obtained from a wild female sample captured from Inner Mongolia, China. This mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 17,293 bp in length, consisting of two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 1 control region, and 1 rep_origin region. The phylogenetic analysis basis of 12 protein-coding genes except for ND6 gene shows that Ochotona dauurica clusters with Ochotona curzoniae.
