Next-generation sequencing yields the complete mitogenome of Niya chicken (Gallus gallus).

ABSTRACT: In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Niya chicken (Gallus gallus) was obtained by using the next-generation sequencing technology for the first time. The complete mitogenome sequence of Niya chicken is 16,784 bp in length, containing 2 ribosomal RNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a D-loop region. Our work provides a valuable source of data for phylogenetic studies and helps us to understand the maternal origins of the native chickens.
