Genetic characteristics of complete mtDNA genome sequence of Indonesian local rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Indonesian local rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is a local breed in Indonesia. We reveal the mitochondrial genome sequence of the Indonesian local Rabbit for the first time. A better understanding of the mechanisms underlying these beneficial aspects of local breeds over imported ones requires detailed genetic investigations, of which mtDNA genome sequencing is of particular importance. Such an investigation will solve the major issues of misidentification with Javanese hares (Lepus nigricollis) and maternal lineage. In addition, this information will guide better statistics on the Indonesian local rabbit breed population and strategies for its conservation and breeding plans. This study aimed to identify and explore the characteristics of the mtDNA genomes of Indonesian
