The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Amur leopard cat, Prionailurus bengalensis euptilurus

Abstract

The total length of the Prionailurus bengalensis euptilurus genome is 16,990 bp, with a total base composition of 33% A, 27.4% T, 26% C, and 13.5% G. The base compositions present clearly the A–T skew, which is most obvious in the tRNA genes (64%).
