The transcription start sites (TSSs) of porcine mitochondrial genome were firstly identified in this study, including heavy-strand promoter 1 and 2 (HSP1 and HSP2) harbored at nt 903 and nt 1369 in H strand, respectively, and light-strand promoter (LSP) located at nt 166 in L strand. HSP1 structure and expression features were investigated by analyzing mtDNA copy number, expression of 11 nucleoplasmic genes, mtDNA methylation levels, and gene expression levels of methyl-modifying enzymes, DNMT1 and TETs. The mtDNA copy number presented large differences among 15 organs/tissues, and the largest disparity, nearly 17 times, was found between pancreas (similar to 1890 relative copy numbers) and spleen (similar to 110 relative copy numbers, P
