Abstract

Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata) is the most popular meat duck, and it can be crossed with most breeds of domestic ducks in captivity to produce sterile hybrids. In this study, complete mitochondrial genome of the Muscovy duck was sequenced by long and accurate polymerase chain reaction (LA-PCR) as well as the primer walking sequence method. The entire mitochondrial genome of Muscovy duck was 16,610 bp in length, gene composition and arrangement conformed to most bird, which contained the typical structure of 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes and a non-coding region. The characteristic of the mitochondrial genome was analyzed in detail. Our complete mitochondrial genome sequence will be useful for phylogenetics, and be available as basic data for the breeding and genetics.
