Research progress of the yak(Bos grunniens)mitochondrial genome
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: In order to systematically understand the research situation of yak mitochondrial genome(mtDNA),explore the limitations of previous studies and to provide perspectives for the future development of yak genome research,the author summarised the yak mtDNA research progress during the last 20years.Since the late 1980s,mtDNA,as a powerful molecular marker,has been used to explore the origin and domestication,genetic diversity,migration, demographic history,taxonomic status,adaptation mechanisms and phylogeny of the yak.While some important progress has been made,population genomics using whole mtDNA sequences,mitochondrial transcriptomics and proteomics,understanding the interaction and regulation between the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes,and the relationship between mitochondrial genome sequences and quantitative traits,are areas that need more focus in this regionally important domestic species.
