Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Coal Tit (Parus ater) consisted 16,783 bp, the genome harbored the same gene order with that of other birds, contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and 1 non-coding control region. The all tRNAs can formed typical cloverleaf secondary structures (excluding tRNA(Ser-AGY)). A total of 38 base mismatches appeared, mainly 28 for G-U mismatch, 5 for A-C mismatch, 2 for U-U mismatch. The third loci of codon existed obvious base bias. The control region was between tRNA(Glu) and tRNA(Phe), consisted 1195 bp, no repetitive sequence.
