The complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of Yanglong yak ().

In this study, we assembled the complete mitochondrial genome of Yanglong yak () from Illumina sequencing reads. The mitochondrial genome is 16,323 bp long with an A + T-biased nucleotide composition, and encodes 13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA, and two rRNA genes along with a noncoding control region. In addition, its gene order is identical to those of the previously published mitochondrial genomes of its congeners.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the Dayu yak ().

Dayu yak () is a long-furred yak breed from the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, and is highly adapted to local high-altitude and cold environments. In this study, its mitochondrial genome was characterized via high-throughput sequencing technology. The genome is 16,323 bp long with an AT-biased base composition (61.

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

Qilian yak () 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 composition and has the typical set of 37 animal mitochondrial genes and the noncoding control region.
