AI Article Synopsis
- The Nili-Ravi buffalo (NRB) is a renowned water buffalo breed, and this study presents its complete mitochondrial genome for the first time.
- The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is 16,356 base pairs long and includes 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, and a non-coding control region.
- Phylogenetic analysis identified four main clades among 18 Ruminantia species, with NRB showing a close genetic relationship to isolate India 4.
Article Abstract
Nili-Ravi buffalo ( Linnaeus, 1758 breed Nili-Ravi, NRB) is a famous water buffalo breed in the world. It is the first time that the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the NRB was reported. The total length of the mtDNA is 16,356 bp, It contains the typical structure, including 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, and 1 non-coding control region (D-loop region). The overall composition of the mtDNA was estimated to be 33.11% for A, 26.45% for T, 26.55% for C, and 13.89% for G. Phylogenetic analyses using neighbor-joining (N-J) computational algorithms showed that the analyzed 18 Ruminantia species are divided into four major clades: Bovidae, Cervidae, Giraffidae, and Atilocapridae. In addition, our work confirmed that NRB has a close genetic relationship with isolate India 4.
