- Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA) is widely used in various genetic studies of domesticated animals. Many applications require comprehensive knowledge about the phylogeny of mt DNA variants. Herein, we provide the most up-to-date mt DNA phylogeny (i.e. haplogroup tree or matrilineal genealogy) and a standardized hierarchical haplogroup nomenclature system for domesticated cattle, dogs, goats, horses, pigs, sheep, yaks and chickens. These high-resolution mt DNA haplogroup trees based on 1240 complete or near-complete mt DNA genome sequences are available in open resource DomeTree (). In addition, we offer the software MitoToolPy () to facilitate the mt DNA data analyses. We will continuously and regularly update DomeTree and MitoToolPy.
