Abstract
- Nycticebus pygmaeus has been listed as vulnerable by IUCN due to habitat destruction and hunting for traditional medicine and trade. Identifying the species and sources in markets is important for resource conservation and trade controls. In this study, we sequenced and characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of N. pygmaeus. The entire mtDNA of N. pygmaeus, 16,856 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and one control region, was similar to those of other Nycticebus in gene arrangement and composition. This work contributes to providing basic molecular data which is critical for further genetic research and conservation of this vulnerable species.
