    abstract = {To determine the origin and genetic diversity of Chinese Leiqiong cattle, the complete mtDNA cyt b gene sequences were analyzed. There haplotypes of 18 individuals were identified from 2 polymorphic sites with 1140 bp in lengh. The average haplotype diversity and nucleotide diversity were 0.0741 and 0.0012 indicating rare genetic diversity in Leiqiong cattle. The nucleotide comparison also demonstrated a strong bias towards transition. A neighbor-joining tree was constructed and revealed that Leiqiong cattle only originated from <I>Bos indicus</I> and had no direct relationship with <I>Bos taurus</I>, <I>Bos grunniens</I> and <I>Bos javanicus </I>(banteng). The network relationships of haplotypes from <I>Bos indicus</I> supported the hypothesis that Chinese Leiqiong cattle and other Asian zebus possessed the independent domestication event. It was inferred an independent domestication centre of somewhere in south China.}
