Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Longsheng Feng chicken (Gallus gallus) was obtained by using a next-generation sequencing method for the first time. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Longsheng Feng chicken contains 2 ribosomal RNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and one control region. This work provides valuable genetic data for chicken mitochondrial researches and phylogenetic studies of domestic chickens.

Keywords: Longsheng Feng chicken; mitochondrial genome; next-generation sequencing.
