Abstract
We sequenced a complete mitochondrial genome sequencing of a chronic hepatitis-associated liver cancer disease LEC rat strain for the first time. The total length of the mitogenome was 16,316 bp with 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and 22 transfer RNA genes. This mitochondrial genome sequence will provide new genetic resource into liver cancer disease.
