Abstract
In this study, we sequenced and reported the complete mitochondrial genome of the corsac fox (Vulpes corsac) for the first time using blood samples obtained from a wild female corsac fox captured from Inner Mongolia, China. Sequence analysis showed it contains 12S rRNA gene, 16S rRNA gene, 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes and 1 control region.
