Abstract
In the present study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of Wuzhishan pig, which was 16 741 bp in size and had a nucleotide composition in A and T (60.46%). The genome consisted of a major non-coding control region (D-loop region) and 37 genes, including 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. The genes in the mitochondrial genomes of Wuzhishan pig used three kinds of initiation codons (ATA, ATG, and GTG) and four kinds of termination codons (TAA, AGA, TAG, and an incomplete termination codons T–). The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Wuzhishan pig provides an important data set for further study on genetic mechanism.
