Abstract

Abstract: Maiwa yak is a unique local strain of yak breed resource in China. The complete mitochondrial genome was identified in this work. The mitochondrial DNA is a circular molecule with 16, 324 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a non-coding control region(D-loop). The overall nucleotide ratio is A (33.70%), G (13.22%), T (27.26%), C (25.82%) with a C + G content of 39.04%. Phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial genomes of 17 close species using MEGA7.0 showed that Maiwa yak is most related to Pali yak and polled yak.
