Complete mitochondrial genome of an olive baboon (Papio anubis) from Gombe National Park, Tanzania

Roos and his colleagues report a sequencing of a complete mitochondrial genome of an olive baboon from Gombe. The genome sequenced has a length of 16,490 bp and exhibits the typical structure of mammalian mitochondrial genomes. The results revealed that the olive baboon from Gombe forms a strongly supported sister lineage to a clade consisting of eastern Papio anubis, northern Papio cynocephalus and Papio hamadryas, thus, further supporting the previously detected polyphyly of olive baboons
