AI Article Synopsis
- India has 40 unique zebuine cattle breeds, each with varying adaptability and production characteristics.
- This study presents the first complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Indian cattle, which includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a control region.
- Phylogenetic analysis indicates a close genetic relationship among the Indian cattle breeds, while notable genetic differences exist when compared to other cattle species, aiding future research on evolution and conservation of these breeds.
Article Abstract
India has 40 distinct zebuine cattle breeds with different adaptability and production traits. In the present study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Indian cattle for the first time. The mitogenome contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and a control region (D-loop region). The phylogenetic analysis showed close genetic relationship among the Indian cattle breeds studied, where as, distinct genetic differences were observed between and cattle. Our results will expand genomic information for further studies on evolution, domestication and conservation of indigenous cattle breeds in India.
