Using hybridization capture to obtain mitochondrial genomes from forensically relevant North American canids: Assessing sequence variation for species identification

•Hybridization capture and next-generation sequencing can generate full mitochondrial genomes of North American canids.•Phylogenetic relationships using complete mitochondrial genomes were consistent with previous studies.•Alternate mitochondrial targets (<250 bp) that permit species identification were identified.•Hybridization capture workflow can be implemented with standard molecular biology equipment.
