title: Intraspecific comparison of complete mitogenome sequences from two Asian raccoon dogs (Canidae: Nyctereutes procyonoides).
abstract: We determined the complete mitochondrial genome (GenBank accession number: KF709435) of the Korean raccoon dog Nyctereutes procyonoides koreensis and compared it with a previously published mitogenome (GenBank accession number: GU256221) of a Chinese raccoon dog. The total length of N. p. koreensis mitogenome is 16,802 bp, with a base composition of 32.1% A, 26.9% T, 26.8% C and 14.2% G. High similarity of 98.7% was found between the complete mitogenome sequences of Korean and Chinese raccoon dogs. Sequence similarity of the two mitogenomes was 99.3% in the other gene regions except for D-loop. The sequence similarity of 99.1% was found in the 13 protein-coding gene regions, whereas 99.6% was identical in mtDNA regions covering all the 22 tRNA genes. There was no variation between 12S rRNAs, whereas 0.5% difference was found between 16S rRNAs.
