AI Article Synopsis
- The collared peccary is crucial for the livelihoods of people in the Amazon, yet there is limited genetic data on the species in Peru.
- This study sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of the Peruvian collared peccary, revealing a genome size of 16,836 bp with various genes and a GC content of 40.3%.
- The findings suggest that the Peruvian collared peccary is genetically closer to the Bolivian population and will aid in future conservation efforts and evolutionary studies.
Article Abstract
The collared peccary ( Linnaeus, 1758) is a vital resource for the subsistence and economy of the Amazonian inhabitants. Despite its importance, there is a notable lack of genetic information on Peruvian collared peccary populations. This study presents the complete mitogenome of from Peru, obtained by Illumina sequencing. The mitochondrial genome spans 16,836 bp and has a nucleotide composition of 34.2 % A, 25.5 % T, 13.5 % G, and 26.8 % C, with a GC content of 40.3 %. The genome includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and one control region. Phylogenetic analysis of protein-coding genes indicates that Peruvian is most closely related to Bolivian within the family Tayassuidae. The annotated mitogenome of Peruvian provides valuable genomic data for evolutionary research and will serve in conservation and management strategies for the species.
