Abstract
In this study, the complete mitochondrial DNA of the hybrid of Simmental and Qinghai local cattle breed was sequenced and analyzed. The total mitochondrial genome sequence is 16,339 bp in length including 1 control region (D-loop), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 13 protein-coding genes. The description of all genes is similar to the typical mitochondrial genomes of cattle. All the protein-coding genes were located on the heavy strand (H strand) except for ND6. The COX3, ND3, and ND4 genes own incomplete stop codon.
