Keywords
In this work, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Sus cebifrons (Visayan warty pig). The total length of the mitogenome was 16,475 bp, and its overall base composition was estimated to be 35.0% for A, 25.8% for T, 26.2% for C and 13.0% for G, indicating an A-T (60.8%)-rich feature in Sus cebifrons mitogenome. It contained the typical structure of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and a noncoding control region (D-loop region). The arrangement of these genes was the same as that found in other pigs. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Sus cebifrons would provide new genetic resources for pig domestication study.
Mitochondrial genome, Sus cebifrons, Visayan warty pig
Many subspecies of wild boars have contributed to the breeding of the domestic pig, and there is a considerable species divergence between them (Giuffra et al., 2000; Kijas & Andersson, 2001). The domestication process has, to a large extent, been going on in parallel in Asia and Europe. The warty pig, represent one group of the Eurasian wild pigs. In this group, the Sus cebifrons (Visayan warty pig) is one of the endemic warty species that is already extinct or close to extinction on their original living islands/regions of the west Visayan region (Cox, 1987; Oliver, 1992; Oliver et al., 1993). Recent investigations suggest this species is also present in the South-East Asia (Lucchini et al., 2005). In this work, we reported the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Sus cebifrons and deposited it in GenBank with the accession number: KF952600.

This mitochondrial genome was assembled from highthroughput sequencing data produced by Rubin et al. (2012). The total length of the mitogenome is 16,475 bp, with the base composition of 35.0% A, 25.8% T, 26.2% C, 13.0% G and an obvious A-T (60.8%)-rich feature (Table 1). It comprises 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 1 non-coding control region (D-loop region), which is similar to other pigs (Xu et al., 2013). All the mitogenome genes were encoded on the H strand except for ND6 and eight tRNA genes. Except ND2, ND3 and ND5 using the start codon ATA and ND4L using GTG, other protein-coding genes use ATG as the start codon. These genes had four types of termination codon, six genes terminated with TAA, whereas ND1 and ND2 with TAG and CytB with AGA, and an incomplete termination

codon T– – for COX2, COX3, ND3 and ND4. The 22 tRNA genes of Visayan warty pig ranged in size from 59 bp (tRNASer) to 75 bp (tRNALeu). The lengths of 12s rRNA and the 16s rRNA were 958 bp and 1570 bp. They were located between the tRNAPhe and tRNALeu genes and separated by the tRNAVal gene, and the result was the same as the other pigs. The control region of the Sus cebifrons mitochondrial DNA is located between the tRNAPhe and tRNAPro genes and measures 1044 bp. Since animal breeding became more organized in the eighteenth century, the selection goals in pigs have evolved in response to demand, and the genetic resources are quite valuable for breeding. The sequenced complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Visayan warty pig would thus provide new resources for pig domestication (Rubin et al., 2012).
