- Abstract
Tibet Gaoshan Yak ( Bos grunniens ) is a local Yak breed that mainly produces meat in Tibet Autonomous Region, China. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Tibet Gaoshan Yak was sequenced. The total length of the mitochondrial genome is 16,323 bp, and the base composition is 33.71% for A, 13.21% for G, 27.27% for T, and 25.81% for C. The genome includes 13 protein-coding genes ( ND1-ND6 , ND4L , COX1-COX3 , ATP6 , ATP8, and CYTB ), two rRNA genes (12S rRNA and 16SrRNA), 22 tRNA genes, and a noncoding control region (D-loop). Phylogenetic analysis showed that Tibet Gaoshan Yak has the closest relationship with Polled Yak. The sequence analysis provided in this study will be helpful to the management of Yak breeds, the origin, and evolution of Yak, and the protection and utilization of genetic resources., Competing Interests: The authors declare that there are no financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that can inappropriately influence our work, and no professional or other personal interest of any nature or kind in any product, service and company that could be construed as influencing the position presented in, or the review of the manuscript., (© 2021 The Author(s).
