In this study, the complete nucleotide sequence of Belgium Malinois mitochondrial genome was determined for the first time. Sequence analysis showed that the genome structure was in accordance with other dogs. It contained 22 tRNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes and 1 control region (D-loop region). The base composition was A (31.7%), G (14.1%), C (25.5%) and T (28.7%), so the percentage of A and T (60.4%) was higher than that of G and C. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Belgium Malinois will shed a new light on further dog breeds study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
