Description
Carla Saldana and co-authors assemble in 2025 the complete mitochondrial genome of the Peruvian Paso horse using long-read sequencing technology. The circular genome spans about sixteen thousand base pairs in total length. It holds thirteen protein-coding genes, twenty-two transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and a control region.
Thirty-five variant sites were found, mostly in RNA genes, with none in protein-coding genes. That pattern fits purifying selection, the authors note. Comparisons with fourteen other breeds show high structural similarity. Family tree analysis places the breed within a European clade, near Westphalian and Maremmano horses.
