The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Yarkand hare ().

We first reported the mitochondrial genome of . The mitogenome of contains 17,011 base pairs. The overall base composition of complete mitogenome is 28.13% A, 27.67% T, 22.02% C, and 22.17% G, with 44.20% of the GC content. All genes exhibit the typical mitochondrial gene arrangement and transcribing directions. Phylogenetic analysis of 9 species was performed based on the sequence of cytochrome b gene using the Maximum Likelihood method in MEGA 7.0. The results suggested that is closely related to . The results are helpful to future studies on molecular evolution, population genetics, and wildlife protection of .
