Abstract excerpt
Complete sequences of mitochondrial (mt) genomes of eight Japanese Black cattle were determined to investigate the relationships between mt deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) displacement loop (D-loop) types and other mtDNA regions and to identify the variation in the coding region that may influence the economic traits. The survey of mitochondrial sequences in the encoding region revealed 14 substitutions including six...
