Abstract

Marmota vancouverensis, the only uniquely Canadian marmot, has been listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of M. vancouverensis (Vancouver marmot) is presented here firstly, sequenced by next-generation sequencing (NGS). The Vancouver marmot mitogenome is 16,435 bp long, contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and one control region (D-loop). The complete mitochondrial genome sequence provided here could help in study of ecological and evolutionary research of Marmota and conservation genetics of M. vancouverensis.
