Abstract:
The complete sequence of the mitochondrial DNA genome from Garrulax cineraceus was determined using the polymerase chain reaction method. The genome (17,800 bp in length) contained 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes and 22 tRNA genes) and 2 control regions (D-loop) at two different locations of mitogenome, which is similar to the typical mtDNA of vertebrates. All the protein-coding genes in G. cineraceus were distributed on the H-strand, except for the ND6 subunit gene and eight tRNA genes which were encoded on the L-strand.
