The first complete mitochondrial genome data of the pygmy rabbit Brachylagus idahoensis, the world’s smallest leporid

Mitogenome sequence is assembled using highthroughput sequencing data for Brachylagus idahoensis(UWBM82570). Genomic DNA was extracted with Qiagen DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (Valencia, CA). double-indexed and double-stranded library preparation; mitogenome enrichment with myBaits Custom 20-40K (Daicel Arbour Biosciences, USA); sequencing: Illumina NextSeq 550 platform; mitogenome assembled de novo in NOVOPlasty v.4.3.1 and annotated in MITOS2 web server. The circular mitogenome map was drawn using OGDRAW. Phylogenetic relationship was inferred using IQ-TREE.The mitogenome data are available in the GenBank under the accessionnumber OL436257(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/OL436257). Raw sequence data are available in Sequence Read Archive (BioProject:PRJNA839569, BioSample: SAMN28539370;http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/839569)
