Objective Assembly whole
mitochondrial genome sequence of Rongshui miniature pig ( RMP ) breed and
analysis the structure of
mitochondrion based on the next-generation sequecing
method.Comparison of
phylogenetic relationship and
genetic diversity among different pig breeds.
Methods We collected peripheral venous
blood sample from RMP and constructed two paired-end sequencing
libraries.A whole-
genome shotgun sequencing strategy and Illumina
Genome Analyser sequencing
technology were used in our study.Results The
mitochondrial genome of RMP consists of 13
protein coding genes, 2
ribosomal RNA genes, 22
transfer RNA genes and the length of pig is 16888 bp.The
GC content of this pig
mitochondrial genome is about 44 %.Based on phlogenetic
analysis,
population genetic
analysis, our findings confirmed that the ancestral cluster in
East Asia mainly occurred among Diannan 7#pig, Hainan
wild boar, Lanyu and RMP.Conclusion RMP, a typical miniature pig breed in
China, is an earlier ancestor than Lanyu pig breed.
