The complete mitochondrial genome of the Daweizi pig.

Daweizi pig is one of the famous native breed in China. In this work we reported the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Daweizi pig in Human Province for the first time. The total length of the mitogenome is 16,690 bp, with the base composition of 34.68% for A, 25.80% for T, 26.21% for C, 13.31% for G and an A + T (60.48%)-rich feature occurs in the Daweizi pig. It is made up of two ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and one non-coding control region (D-loop region). The arrangement of these genes was the same as that found in the Landrace pig. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Daweizi pig provides an important data set for further study on the germplasm resources.
