Alpine musk deer, <i>Moschus chrysogaster</i>, a solitary, primitive ungulate inhabiting high elevation areas (3000-4500 m) is an endangered species facing threat of extinction globally due to excessive hunting for its musk. In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of <i>M. chrysogaster</i>, which was 16,354 bp in length, and revealed the same gene order and genomic organization as typical Moschidae mitochondrial DNA. Start codons in 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) were all ...[more]
