In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Hetian chicken (Gallus gallus) was obtained by using next generation sequencing method. The total length of complete mitogenome sequence is 16,784 bp, containing one control region, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 13 protein-coding genes and 22 transfer RNA genes. This work provides a valuable source of data for the study of the evolution of Gallus gallus mitochondrial genome and contributes to Hetian chicken breeding improvement program.
在本研究中,采用下一代测序方法获得了和田鸡(家鸡)的完整线粒体基因组。完整线粒体基因组序列全长16784bp,包含一个控制区、2个核糖体RNA、13个蛋白质编码基因和22个转运RNA基因。这项工作为家鸡线粒体基因组进化研究提供了宝贵的数据来源,并有助于和田鸡育种改良计划。
