I'm surfing NCBI website -Nucleotide- to find some examples of real DNA sequences to use in my small homework project.
My question is related to the title of a DNA sequence below:
Sus scrofa mitochondrial DNA, D-loop region, isolate: Europeanwild boar 3
1,045 bp linear DNA
I thought a mitochondrial DNA is different than a linear/nuclear DNA, especially that a mitochondrial DNA is circular while a linear/nuclear DNA is linear. So what does the above title actually means (in simple terms)? Is it still linear or not?
