Abstract

Trachypithecus poliocephalus : (Primates: Cercopithecidae), classified as critically endangered (IUCN) and in China was listed National First Class Protected Animal. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of T. poliocephalus has been reported for the first time in China. The complete mitochondrial genome of T. poliocephalus was sequenced and it contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA), 22 tRNA genes, and one control region (D-loop).
