The complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid of Jersey cattle (; ♂) × Gannan yak (; ♀).

In this study, we reconstructed the complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid of Jersey cattle (; ♂) × Gannan yak (; ♀) from Illumina sequencing reads. The mitochondrial genome is 16,322 bp in length with an A + T-biased nucleotide composition, and encodes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs along with a noncoding control region. In addition, its gene order is identical to those of previously published mitochondrial genomes of the genera and . Phylogenetic analysis indicates that this hybrid is most closely related to Gannan yak and Jinchuan yak.
