## Abstract
Native chickens are essential genetic resources in Indonesia, providing economic, cultural, and nutritional value with strong adaptability to local environments. Among these native chickens, Sentul and Pelung are recognized as national genetic resources due to dual-purpose and ornamental traits, respectively, but their whole mitogenome characterization remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to assemble and analyze the whole mitogenome of Sentul and Pelung chickens as well as perform a comparison with 35 additional genomes from domestic chickens and jungle fowls across Asia. The experiment was carried out using next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics-based genome assembly and analysis. The results showed that both Sentul and Pelung genomes were 16,784 bp in length and contained the typical mitochondrial gene composition, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer ribonucleic acids (tRNAs), two ribosomal ribonucleic acids (rRNAs), and a control region (D-loop). Furthermore, comparative analysis identified five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) distinguishing the two breeds, located in ND1, COX1, COX2, ND4, and the D-loop region. Phylogenetic reconstruction based on whole mitochondrial sequences showed that Sentul and Pelung chickens belong to haplogroup D, alongside other native breeds and red jungle fowls from Indonesia and the Philippines.
