The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Budorcas taxicolor was determined,spliced and annotated by long PCR.The phylogenetic relationship ofBudorcas taxicolor was analyzed.The results showed that the total length of mitochondrial genome of Budorcas taxicolor was 16 662 bp (the accession number of GenBank:KU361169).The mitogenome contained 13 protein coding genes,22 tRNA,2 rRNA,and a control region.The nucleotide composition was A:33.9%,T:27.0%,C:26.3%,G:12.8%,(A+T) (60.9%) was higher than (G+C) (39.1%).There was a strong A-T bias.The mitochondrial protein coding genes ND2,ND3 and ND5 used ATA as initiation codon,other 10 protein coding genes used ATG.The ND2,ND3,ND4 and CO Ⅲ genes had in-complete termination codon (T),while others used termination codons (TAA and AGA) as usual.The secondary structures of 22 tRNAs were predicted.There were 38 mismatch most of which were GU mismatch.The BI phylogenetic tree was built by the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of 14 Ungulata animals.The relationship ofBudorcas taxicolor and Capra aegagrus hircus was closest.The result supported Budorcas taxicolor should be placed into Caprinae.
