Deskripsi
Golden wild yak is a rare and unique Yak subspecies in China. In this study, we first identified the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of golden wild yak. The complete mitogenome was 16,323 bp in length, with 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes (22 transfer RNA, 2 ribosomal RNA and 13 protein-coding genes) and one non-coding region (D-loop), and its contents of A, T, G, and C were 33.71%, 27.26%, 13.21%, 25.82, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis showed that the golden wild yak is closer with Pali yak, and it might be a mutant type of Yak living in Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau area.
