The complete mitochondrial genome of Dabieshan black pig (Sus scrofa) and a phylogenetic study

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Dabieshan black pig (Sus scrofa) was first determined in this study. The mitogenome is 16,690 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a control region. In addition, the reconstructed phylogenetic tree indicated that different Chinese pig breeds do not form a monophyletic group, and the tree also confirmed that there is certainly a genetic link between Dabieshan black pig distributed in Southwest Anhui and Huai pig distributed in North Anhui.
