Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the Pamir yak (Bos grunniens)
Pamir yak (Bos grunniens) is a yak breed from Pamir Plateau with strong adaptation to the high-elevation, cold and anoxic environments. Its complete mitochondrial genome was determined to be 16,323 bp long with a moderately asymmetric nucleotide composition, and harbors the typical set of 37 mitocho...

| Summary: | Pamir yak (Bos grunniens) is a yak breed from Pamir Plateau with strong adaptation to the high-elevation, cold and anoxic environments. Its complete mitochondrial genome was determined to be 16,323 bp long with a moderately asymmetric nucleotide composition, and harbors the typical set of 37 mitochondrial genes and the noncoding control region. The PCGs start with the typical ATA or ATG codons, and end with TAA, TAG or the incomplete termination codon T. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that Pamir yak is most closely related to six other yak breeds (i.e. Datong, Pali, polled, Qilian, Seron and Sunan yaks). |
