Chinese hamster is an important laboratory animal in medical and biological researches,but the molecular genetic markers research was rarely reported.In our study the base composition,gene structure,genetic evolution and other characteristics of mitochondrial genome of Chinese hamster were analyzed using the methods of bioinformatics and comparative genomics,genetic quality detection system of Chinese hamster were also established.These results would supply genome data for animal models of human diseases,and lay the foundation for scientific evaluation and reasonable utilization.
