Mitochondrial genome sequences are valuable resources for systematics and conservation biology studies. In this paper, we present the complete mitogenome of Aquila nipalensis which was 18,450 bp in length. The gene content and arrangement were typical for avian mtDNA. The overall A þ T content of was 54.1%, and the AT skew was calculated as 0.12 for the complete mitogenome of A. nipalensis. The maximum-likelihood (ML) tree based on the concatenated 12 protein-coding genes (PCGs) revealed the basal phylogenetic position of A. nipalensis in Aquila.

“…Although the whole-genome analyses have achieved rapid advancement and applied in an increasing number of organisms, the popularity of the mitochondrial genome should not be ignored because it is a versatile source of genetic variation for evolutionary study (Wu et al 2015;Zhou et al 2017). There are many evolutionary advantages of mitochondrial genomes, such as freedom from genetic recombination and positive selection, maternal inheritance, and relatively higher mutation rate (Rubtsov and Opaev 2012).…”

Two new complete mitochondrial genomes (Paradoxornis gularis and Niltava davidi) and their phylogenetic and taxonomic implications

All the genes of Paradoxornis gularis and Niltava davidi complete mitochondrial genomes encoded on the H-strand, apart from one PCG (ND6) and eight tRNAs (tRNA Gln , tRNA Ala , tRNA Asn , tRNA Cys , tRNA Tyr , tRNA Ser(UCN) , tRNA Pro , and tRNA Glu). Strikingly large tandem repeats were found in the control region (CR) of P. gularis mitogenome. The phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that P. gularis possessed a basal phylogenetic position within the genus Paradoxornis, and N. davidi was more closely related to Cyanoptila cyanomelana than other Muscicapidae species.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of Otus sunia (Strigiformes: Strigidae)

The complete mitochondrial genome of Otus sunia was 17,835 bp in length and its overall base composition was estimated to be 31.0% for A, 23.3% for T, 32.4% for C, and 13.3% for G. It consisted of the typical structure of 13 PCGs, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 1 control region. The phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that O. sunia was more closely related to O. scops than O. bakkamoena.
