The Ovis aries Duoma breed is one of the most important alpine grassland-type sheep breeds in China. In this current study, we first reported the complete mitochondrial genome of Duoma sheep. Mitochondrial genome is 16,618 bp in length and exhibits the same typical structure as the other published sheep breeds. The genome contains 37 genes (22 tRNA, two rRNA, and 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs)) and a control region (D-loop region). Phylogenetic analysis shows that the Duoma sheep breed is closer to Ganjia sheep. Our findings will help the further evolution and conservation studies of Duoma sheep.
