Abstract
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Shaziling pig was reported in Human Province, which was determined through PCR-based method. The total length of the mitogenome is 16,690 bp. It contains the typical structure, including 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 1 non-coding control region (D-loop region) as that of most other vertebrates. The overall composition of the mitogenome was estimated to be 34.67% for A, 25.84% for T, 26.17% for C and 13.32% for G, with an A + T (60.51%)-rich feature in the Shaziling pig. All the protein initiation codons are ATG, except for ND2, ND3 and ND5 are ATA, ND4L is GTG, ND6 is TTA. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Shaziling pig in Human Province provides an important data set for the study in genetic mechanism.
