Inner Mongolia Cashmere goat is evolved from Mongolia goat in long-term breeding, as a source of high-quality cashmere, Inner Mongolia Cashmere goat type of Erlangshan is famous in the world. By using molecular biology techniques, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial DNA of Erlangshan Cashmere goat. The complete length of sequence is 16,640 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and a control region (D-loop region). Our mitogenome will enlarge genomic information for further studies on evolution and domestication of Inner Mongolia Cashmere goat, enhance germplasm conservation and breeding programs of domestic goat.
内蒙古绒山羊是在长期选育过程中由蒙古山羊进化而来的，作为优质羊绒的来源，二郎山型内蒙古绒山羊闻名于世。通过运用分子生物学技术，我们对二郎山绒山羊的线粒体DNA进行了全序列测定。序列全长16640bp，包含13个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA基因、2个核糖体RNA基因和一个控制区（D-loop区）。我们的线粒体基因组将扩大基因组信息，以便进一步研究内蒙古绒山羊的进化和驯化，加强家养山羊的种质保存和育种计划。
