Abstract
We determined and annotated the whole mtDNA genome of the roe deer Capreolus pygargus tianschanicus in Korea. The complete mitogenome is a circular molecule of 16,357 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 2 non-coding regions (L-strand replication origin and control region). The mitogenome is AT-biased, with a nucleotide composition of 33.5% A, 30.0% T, 23.2% C, and 13.4% G. The phylogenetic analysis revealed the Korean roe deer C. p. tianschanicus is placed within the genus Caprelous clade, which has the water deer of the genus Hydropotes as sister clade.
