The complete mitochondrial genome of Bos taurus coreanae (Korean native cattle)

Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016;27(1):120-1. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2013.873933. Epub 2014 Jan 17.

Abstract

Korean native cattle is one of the famous native breeds in Korean. In the present work, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Korean native cattle for the first time. The total length of the mitogenome was 16,339 bp with the base composition of 33.4% for A, 27.2% for T, 26.0% for C, and 13.4% for G, and an A-T (60.6%)-rich feature was detected. It harbored 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 1 non-coding control region (D-loop region). The arrangement of all genes was identical to the typical mitochondrial genomes of cattle. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Korean native cattle would serve as an important data set of the germplasm resources for further study.

Keywords: Bos taurus coreanae (Korean native cattle); genome; mitochondrion.
