Abstract:
In this study, the first complete mitochondrial genome of Lindian Chicken (Gallus gallus) was sequenced in order to develop the mitogenome data for genus gallus. The complete mitogenome sequence is 16,785 bp in length, containing 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA genes, and one control region). The new sequenced complete mitogenome of Lindian Chicken will provide useful information for application in conservation genetics and evolution for this Near Threatened Chicken genomes.
