Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016;27(2):978-9. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2014.926514. Epub 2014 Jun 18.

Abstract

In this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Gallus domesticus was determined by long PCR and primer walking methods. The complete mitochondrial genome is 16,783 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes as well as a displacement loop (D-loop). The overall base composition of the genome is A(30.25%), T(23.79%), C(32.44%), G(13.52%), respectively. The mitogenome of G. domesticus displayed novel gene order arrangement compared with published Gallus gallus var. domesticus to date. The mitogenome would contribute to resolving phylogenetic position and interrelationships of Gallus.

Keywords: Complete mitogenome; Gallus domesticus; phasianidae.
