Characterization of the mitochondrial genome of the Qilian yak (Bos grunniens) with a phylogenetic analysis of the family Bovidae (Artiodactyla)

Qilian yak (Bos grunniens) is a local breed of yak with high adaptation to the high-elevation, cold, and anoxic environments. In this study, its complete mitochondrial genome was assembled from high-throughput sequencing reads. The mitogenome is 16,324 bp long with an A + T-biased nucleotide composi...
