Abstract
In the present study, we determined the complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial (mt) genome of tolai hare, Lepus tolai (Leporidae: Lepus) by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. The entire mtDNA sequence is 17,472 bp long and contains 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA gens and one long non-coding region known as the control region.
