Abstract:
In the present study, we determined the complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial (mt) genome of Chinese hare, Lepus sinensis (Leporidae: Lepus) by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. The entire mtDNA sequence is 17438 nucleotides long and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal tRNA 22 transfer RNA gens and one long non-coding region known as the control region. The mt gene arrangement of L. sinensis is identical to those typical for vertebrates.
