Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Zhuanghe Big-boned chicken (Gallus gallus) was obtained by using next generation sequencing method. The complete mitogenome sequence is 16,784 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNA genes, and one control region. This work provides a valuable source of data for the study of the evolution of Gallus gallus mitochondrial genome.

Keywords: Zhuanghe Big-boned chicken; mitogenome; next generation sequencing.
