Abstract
In the present work we undertook the complete mitochondrial genome sequencing of a wild gon-shan chinese cattle Bos gaurus gon-shan. The total length of the mitogenome was 16,356 bp with the base composition of 33.4% for A, 27.2% for T, 26.0% for C, and 13.4% for G and an A-T (60.6%)-rich feature was detected. It harbored 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and one non-coding control region (D-loop region). The arrangement of all genes was identical to the typical mitochondrial genomes of cattle.
