title: Complete mitochondrial genome of the capped langur (Trachypithecus pileatus).
abstract: The complete mitochondrial sequence of the capped langur (Trachypithecus pileatus) has been determined using long amplification polymerase chain reaction (LA-PCR). The total sequence length is 16,526 bp and includes 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 1 D-loop locus. The base composition of H-strand is 31.9% A, 29.1% T, 26.2% C and 12.8% G, with an AT content of 55.3%. The arrangement of genes in T. pileatus is identical to that of other primate species. All genes are encoded on the heavy strand with the exception of ND6 and eight tRNA genes. The mitochondrial genome of T. pileatus presented here will contribute to a better understanding of the species' population genetics, helping to protect its genetic diversity and resolve phylogenetic relationships within the family.
