In this study, we assembled the complete mitochondrial genome of Yanglong yak (Bos grunniens) from Illumina sequencing reads. The mitochondrial genome is 16,323 bp long with an A + T-biased nucleot...

In this study, high-throughput Illumina sequencing was employed to assemble the complete mitochondrial genome of the Meiren yak (Bos grunniens), a local yak breed from Gansu Province, China. The mitochondrial genome is 16,321 bp long with an A + T-biased nucleotide composition and harbors 13 protein-coding, 22 Trna, and 2 rRNA genes, and a noncoding control region. The mitogenomic organization and codon usage are highly similar to those of previously published congeneric mitochondrial genomes. Bayesian phylogenetic analysis indicates that Meiren yak is most closely related to nine other yak breeds (incl. Datong, Huanhu, Pali, Pamir, Polled, Qilian, Seron, Sunan, and Tianjun yaks).

Qilian yak (Bos grunniens) is a local breed of yak with high adaptation to the high-elevation, cold, and anoxic environments. In this study, its complete mitochondrial genome was assembled from hig...

Sibu yak is famous for its excellent breed in Tibet and has become a magic way for local herdsmen to get rich. The Sibu yak, however, has been identified as an endangered bovine species. In this st...

In this study, we reconstructed the complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid of Jersey cattle (Bos taurus; ♂) × Gannan yak (Bos grunniens; ♀) from Illumina sequencing reads. The mitochondrial genome is 16,322 bp in length with an A + T-biased nucleotide composition, and encodes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs along with a noncoding control region. In addition, its gene order is identical to those of previously published mitochondrial genomes of the genera Bison and Bos. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that this hybrid is most closely related to Gannan yak and Jinchuan yak.

Pamir yak (Bos grunniens) is a yak breed from Pamir Plateau with strong adaptation to the high-elevation, cold and anoxic environments. Its complete mitochondrial genome was determined to be 16,323...

Yak is an ancient breed and Bazhou Yak is also one of China's unique yak breed resources. In the present study, its complete mitochondrial genome was assembled from Illumina sequencing data and we identified the complete mitochondrial genome of the Bazhou yak (Bos grunniens). The complete mitochondrial DNA is a circular molecule with 16,325 bp length consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a non-coding control region (D-loop). The overall nucleotide composition is A (33.69%), T (27.30%), C (25.79%), and G (13.22%), respectively. The content of C + G is 39.01%. Phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial genomes of 15 related species by MEGA7.0 showed that the genetic relationship of Bazhou yak is closer to Datong yak and polled yak.

In this study, we assembled the mitochondrial genome for Seron yak (Bos grunniens), a local yak breed with strong adaptation to marshy grasslands. The resultant mitochondrial genome is 16,325 bp long with an A + T-biased base composition (61.0% A + T) and harbours the typical set of 37 mitochondrial genes and 1 non-coding control region. The PCGs start with the typical ATA or ATG codons and are terminated with TAA, TAG or the incomplete stop codon T. Phylogenetic analysis supports the inclusion of Bison within the genus Bos, and suggests that Seron yak is most closely related to Datong yak and polled yak.

In the present study, we reported the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the hybrid from wild yak (♂) × domestic yak (♀). The mitochondrial genome is 16,322 bp in length, including the typical ...

Medicago sativa cv. Hangmu No.1 is the first variety of alfalfa bred by space mutation breeding in China, which characterized by high multifoliate rate, high yield, and abundant nutrients. To some extent, this space mutation alfalfa will efficiently solve the severe shortage of forage and contribute to rapid development in animal husbandry in China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of M. sativa cv. Hangmu No.1 was evaluated based on Illumina Hiseq 2500 platform. The circular genome was 123,825 bp in length, containing 102 genes including 75 protein-coding genes (70 PCG species), 24 transfer RNA genes (21 tRNA species) and 3 ribosomal RNA genes (3 rRNA species). Consistent with other Medicago chloroplast genomes, the M. sativa cv. Hangmu No.1 genome did not contain inverted repeat (IR) regions. Phylogenetic analysis based on 11 chloroplast genomics indicates that M. sativa cv. Hangmu No.1 is closely related to M. sativa and Medicago falcata strain. This complete chloroplast g...
