Abstract

Abstract: Uruguayan beef is one of the most popular products in the export market. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Uruguayan native cattle for the first time. The total mitochondrial genome sequence is 16, 339 bp in length with the base composition of 33.4% for A, 27.2% for T, 26.0% for C, and 13.4% for G. The description of all genes is similar to the typical mitochondrial genomes of cattle. The annotated mitochondrial genome of Uruguayan native cattle would serve as an important genetic data set for further study.
