Next-generation sequencing of the complete mitochondrial genome of the Piao chicken (Gallus gallus)

Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Piao chicken (Gallus gallus) was obtained by using the next-generation sequencing method for the first time. The complete mitogenome sequence of Piao chicken contains 2 ribosomal RNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a D-loop region. This study serves as a valuable genetic resource for mitochondrial studies and can be used in understanding the maternal lineages of native chickens.
