Abstract

In the present study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Arctic fox (Alopex lagopus) was determined for the first time. It has a total length of 16,656 bp, and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 ribosome RNA genes and 1 control region. The nucleotide composition is 31.3% for A, 26.2% for C, 14.8% for G and 27.7% for T, respectively. The D-loop region located between tRNAPro and tRNAPhe contains a (ACACGTACACGCAT)18 tandem repeat array. The data will be useful for the investigation of the genetic structure and diversity in the natural and farmed population of Arctic foxes.
