Mitochondrial genome of the Korean musk deer Moschus moschiferus (Artiodactyla, Ruminantia, Moschidae).
The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Korean musk deer Moschus moschiferus, which is an endangered species in Korea. The circle genome (16,351 bp in size) consists of 13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA, and 2 rRNA genes, and 1 control region (CR), as found in other metazoan animals. The CR was located between the tRNA(Pro) and tRNA(Phe) genes and is 923 bp in length. The typical conserved domains such as ETAS1 and 2, CSB1 and 2, and TAS were identified in the CR of M. moschiferus.
