First mitochondrial genome of the marbled polecat Vormela peregusna (Carnivora, Mustelidae)

Mitochondrial DNA Part B: Resources, Volume 6, No. 3, Year 2021

The marbled polecat, Vormela peregusna, is one of the least studied species in the Mustelidae family, especially with regard to phylogeography and genetic diversity. In this study, we determined the mitochondrial genome sequence of V. peregusna and investigated its position within the Mustelidae phylogeny. The generated mitogenome is 15,982 bp in length; it consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a control region.
