Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Onychostruthus taczanowskii consisted 16 917 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 formed typical cloverleaf secondary structures, except tRNA(Ser (AGN)) and tRNA(Phe). The control region was located between tRNA(Glu) and tRNA(Phe) with 1310 bp in length, which consist of three domains: highly variable domain I, central conserved domain II and conserved sequence domain III. According to the phylogenetic analysis, Onychostruthus taczanowskii had a closer relationship with Pyrgilauda ruficollis, and Passer montanus were sister to them.
