Alpine Merino sheep is one of the most important fine-wool sheep breeds in China. In this study, we present the complete mitogenome of Alpine Merino sheep for the first time. The genome has a length of 16,619bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region (D-loop). Phylogenetically, the Alpine Merino sheep is closer to Oula Tibetan sheep and Tashkurgan sheep. This report provided new data for the phylogeny of Alpine Merino sheep.
高山美利奴羊是中国最重要的细毛羊品种之一。在本研究中，我们首次公布了高山美利奴羊的完整线粒体基因组。该基因组长度为16,619bp，包含13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA基因、22个转运RNA基因和一个控制区（D-loop）。在系统发育上，高山美利奴羊与欧拉藏羊和塔什库尔干羊更为接近。本报告为高山美利奴羊的系统发育提供了新的数据。
