Abstract:Douhua chicken is a unique local breed from Anhui Province, China. This study aimed to illustrate the Douhua chicken mitogenome and clarify its phylogenetic status by sequencing and annotating the complete mitochondrial genome using high-throughput sequencing and primer walking. Phylogenetic analysis through the Kimura 2-parameter model indicated the maternal origin of Douhua chicken. The results revealed that the mitochondrial genome is a closed circular molecule (16,785 bp) that consists of 13 protein-coding… Show more
