毛冠鹿是世界濒危动物，其线粒体（mt）基因组的了解很少。本研究鉴定了毛冠鹿mt基因组，全长约16kb，包含13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA基因、22个转运RNA基因和一个非编码区（控制区）。区别特征是GTG是NADH 4 L基因的起始密码子，并且cyt B基因具有亚末端AAA，随后是终止密码子TAG。根据12个H链蛋白编码基因和系统发育分析，毛冠鹿可能与另一个鹿群Muntiacus有姐妹关系。
The tufted deer Elaphodus cephalophus are endangered animals in the world and little is understood about their mitochondrial (mt) genome. In our study, the mt genome of the tufted deer is identified-which is about 16 kb in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a non-coding sequence (control region). The distinguishing feature is that GTG is the start codon of the NADH4L gene and the cyt b gene has a subterminal AAA followed by the stop codon TAG. According to 12 H strand protein-coding genes and phylogenetic analysis, Elaphodus may have a sister relationship with another deer group Muntiacus.
