The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of White-collared Yuhina ( Yuhina diademata )

Abstract

We sequenced the complete mitochondrial DNA genome of Yuhina diademata by means of polymerase chain reaction. The circle genome (17 834 bp in length) contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 control regions (Dloop1 and Dloop2), which was similar to the other published mitogenome of Timaliidae species. Most PCGs began with ATG, while COI and ND2 genes started with GTG. Nine of the PCGs used complete (TAA) or incomplete (TA- or T--) stop codon, while ND1 and ND6 genes ended with AGA, COI gene ended with AGG, and ND6 gene with TAG. Overall base composition of the complete mtDNA was 30.30% A, 23.81% T, 31.72% C, and 14.17% G. All the PCGs in Y. diademata were distributed on the H-strand, except for the ND6 gene and eight tRNA genes which were encoded on the L-strand.

Complete characteristics and phylogenetic relationships of the Garrulax albogularis mitochondrial genome (Passeriformes: Timaliidae)

“…The complete mitochondrial genome of G. albogularis was 17870 bp in total length. Similar to other Timaliidae mitogenomes (Zhang et al 2014;Li et al 2017), it contained 13 typical protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes (12S rRNA and 16SrRNA) and two control region (D-loop1 and D-loop2). ND6 and nine tRNA genes were encoded on the L-strand.…”

Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of Black-chinned Yuhina (Yuhina nigrimenta)

“…The complete mitogenome sequence of Black-chinned Yuhina was 17,817 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA (12srRNA, 16srRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and 2 control regions (Dloop1, Dloop2) which was similar to other mitochondrial genomes of Passeriformes (Li et al 2017;Zhou et al 2016). The overall base composition of the mitogenome was 30.11% A, 24.12% T, 14.37% G, 31.41% C. All the genes in the Black-chinned Yuhina mitogenome were encoded on the H-strand, except for the ND6 and eight tRNA genes that were transcribed from the L-strand.…”
