The king pigeon is a breed of pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding primarily as a utility breed. In the present work, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of king pigeon for the first time. The total length of the mitogenome was 17,221 bp with the base composition of 30.14% for A, 24.05% for T, 31.82% for C, and 13.99% for G and an A-T (54.22 %)-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 pigeon. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of king pigeon would serve as an important data set of the germplasm resources for further study.
王鸽是经过多年选择性育种培育而成的一种鸽子品种,主要作为经济实用型品种。在本研究中,我们首次报道了王鸽的完整线粒体基因组序列。该线粒体基因组全长17221bp,碱基组成为:A占30.14%,T占24.05%,C占31.82%,G占13.99%,检测到富含A-T(54.22%)的特征。它包含13个蛋白质编码基因、两个核糖体RNA基因、22个转运RNA基因和一个非编码控制区(D-loop区)。所有基因的排列与鸽子典型的线粒体基因组相同。王鸽完整的线粒体基因组序列将作为种质资源的重要数据集用于进一步研究。
