Abstract

The Indochinese jackal (Canis aureus cruesemanni) is a subspecies of the golden jackal (Canis aureus) found in Southeast Asia. While this species has been gene9cally studied in Europe, the Middle East, and India, current research is lacking on the popula9on(s) in Southeast Asia. Using a genome skimming approach, we assembled the first complete  mitochondrial genome for an Indochinese jackal from Thailand. The mitogenome contained 37 annotated genes and is 16,729 bps in length. Phylogene9c analysis with 21 addi9onal canid mitogenomes, along with analyses of a cytochrome b gene-only data set, supports the Indochinese jackal as a dis9nct lineage, and therefore subspecies,among golden jackals.
