abstract: "<p>The silver-backed chevrotain (<em>Tragulus versicolor</em>) is the only endemic ungulate species in Vietnam and among the most little-known ungulates in the world. In this study, we describe complete mitochondrial genome of <em>T. versicolor </em>and its taxonomic position within Tragulidae. The circular genome is 16,317 bp in length, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and one control region, with a GC content of 40.3%. This is the first publicly available mitogenome of <em>T. versicolor.</em></p>"
