Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016;27(2):1050-1. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2014.928862. Epub 2014 Jun 27.

Abstract

In the present work we undertook the complete mitochondrial genome sequencing of a wild gon-shan chinese cattle Bos gaurus gon-shan. The total length of the mitogenome was 16,356 bp with the base composition of 33.4% for A, 27.2% for T, 26.0% for C, and 13.4% for G and an A-T (60.6%)-rich feature was detected. It harbored 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and one non-coding control region (D-loop region). The arrangement of all genes was identical to the typical mitochondrial genomes of cattle.

Keywords: Bos gaurus gon-shan; genome; mitochondrion.
