Abstract excerpt
The nucleotide sequence of the complete mitochondrial genome of the donkey, Equus asinus, was determined. The length of the molecule is 16,670 bp. The length, however, is not absolute due to pronounced heteroplasmy caused by variable numbers of two types of repetitive motifs in the control region. The sequence of the repeats is (a) 5'-CACACCCA and (b) 5'-TGCGCGCA, respectively. The order of (a) and (b) can be...
