AB  - To clarify the origin of Chinese domestic donkeys, the researchers investigated the partial mitochondrial D-loop sequences of 145 samples from 5 native breeds. The results revealed two mitochondrial origins. In the analysis of sequences of 5 native breeds between previously published sequences from other countries/regions and sequences of Chinese domestic donkeys, the results indicated that the two lineages of Chinese domestic donkeys were from Africa and supported the African maternal origins of Chinese domestic donkeys. The population showed abundant mtDNA diversity.
