Abstract
The complete mitogenome sequence of Martes flavigula was determined using long PCR. The genome was 16,549 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 1 control region. The overall base composition of the heavy strand is A (32.48%), C (26.89%), T (26.51%) and G (14.12%). The base compositions present clearly the A–C skew, which is most obvious in the control region and protein-coding genes. The extended termination-associated sequence domain, the central conserved domain and the conserved sequence block domain are defined in the mitochondrial genome control region of M. flavigula.
