title: The complete mitochondrial genome of malbrouck monkey, Chlorocebus cynosuros (Chlorocebus, Cercopithecinae).
abstract: In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of malbrouck monkey, Chlorocebus cynosuros, with the total length of 16,334 bp, is reported for the first time. Similar to other monkeys, it contains a typically conserved structure including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 control region (D-loop). The base composition was A (32.1%), G (12.4%), C (30.1%), and T (25.4%), so the percentage of A and T (57.5%) was higher than that of G and C. Most of the genes are encoded on H-strand, except for the ND6 subunit gene and 8 tRNA genes. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence provided here would be useful for further phylogenetic analysis and population genetic studies in C. cynosuros.
