Intraspecific comparison of two complete mitogenome sequences from the Korean water deer (Cervidae: Hydropotes inermis argyropus)

초록

The complete mitogenome (KP203884) of Hydropotes i. argyropus (SC15) showed 99.7% nucleotide similarity with that of the Chinese H. i. inermis, whereas only 99.1% nucleotide similarity with the known mitogenome of the Korean H. i. argyropus (HC23). Comparison of amino acid sequence also showed that H. i. argyropus (SC15) was more similar to the Chinese H. i. inermis (99.8%) than H. i. argyropus (HC23) (99.5%). Thus, the comparative analyses of the mitogenomes reveal that the Korean water deer H. i. argyropus (SC15) is more closely related to the Chinese water deer H. i. inermis than to the other Korean H. i. argyropus (HC23).
