Complete mitochondrial genome of a Toque Macaque (Macaca sinica)
The Toque macaque (Macaca sinica) is the only macaque species on Sri Lanka and endemic to the island. The newly generated mitochondrial genome (Genbank accession number MG870385), obtained from a captive individual, has a length of 16,525 bp and exhibits the typical structure of mammalian mitochondr...

| description | The Toque macaque (Macaca sinica) is the only macaque species on Sri Lanka and endemic to the island. The newly generated mitochondrial genome (Genbank accession number MG870385), obtained from a captive individual, has a length of 16,525 bp and exhibits the typical structure of mammalian mitochondrial genomes. Phylogenetically, the Toque macaque is nested within the Macaca sinica species group and represents a sister lineage to a M. assamensis/M. thibetana clade. The new data help to further illuminate and better understand the complex phylogeny of macaques. |
