The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of the Mashen Pig (Sus scrofa)

Mashen pig (Sus scrofa) is one of the famous local breeds in China. In this study, we sequenced and reported the complete mitochondrial genome of the Mashen pig. The complete mitogenome sequence is 16 649 bp in length, containing those typical complement of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and a non-coding control region. Our new sequenced complete mitogenome of the Mashen pig will provide valuable information for the application to conservation genetics and evolutionary studies for Chinese local pig breeds.
