Abstract:
Emberiza jankowskii is an Endangered species, whose population quantity decreased year by year in the limited distribution areas. The complete mitochondrial genome of E. jankowskii (16,776 bp in length) consists of 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes) and a non-coding region (D-loop), which is similar to the typical mtDNA of vertebrates. All the protein-coding genes in E. jankowskii are distributed on the H-strand, except the ND6 subunit gene and ten tRNA genes, which are encoded on the L-strand. A preliminary phylogenetic analysis has been carried out with eight bunting species and other related species.
