In this work, we first reported the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Alcippe ruficapilla by next-generation sequencing (NGS). The complete mitogenome of A. ruficapilla was 16,941 bp in length and contained the typical structure of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs) and 2 no-coding control regions (D-loop). Nucleotide composition of the whole mitogenome was 29.2% A, 24.2% T, 31.87% C, and 14.8% G, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that Alcippe ruficapilla gathered into a single branch with Montifrigilla henrici and Acrocephalus scirpaceus with strong support.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
