Abstract
In the present study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Trachypithecus francoisi was determined using PCR reactions. The mitochondrial genome is 16,544 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a control region. The structural organization and gene order of T. francoisi were equivalent to that of most other vertebrates. The T. francoisi mtDNA could provide useful data for further studies on phylogenetics and conservation genetics of this species.
