Abstract: The origin and evolution of domestic animals have attracted the interests of people for a long time. Mitochondrial DNA as a good molecular marker has been successfully applied to the study of evolution of animals. Here the new research progress on mtDNA D-loop polymorphism and molecular evolution in domestic animals (pig, horse, donkey, cattle, water buffalo, sheep, goat and chicken) was introduced, and gave some advice on deeply studying the origin and evolution of domestic animals.
