Gene organization and characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Hainan black goat ( Capra hircus ).

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Hainan black goat was determined for the first time by the PCR-based method. The total length of the mitogenome was 16,641 bp, including 33.54% A, 26.04% C, 27.31% T, 13.11% G. The genome structure contained 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes and 1 control region (D-loop region). These results have extended more detail information of mitochondrial genome, thus being useful for further study on the genetic divergence and phylogenetic resolution of global goats.
