Abstract:
Garrulax elliotii belonged to Passeriformes, one of the members of Timaliidae family. It was a kind of unique and resident species habitat in the evergreen broadleaf forest and alpine shrub belt. The complete mitochondrial genome of G. elliotii was constituted by 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) genes, two Ribosomal RNA (12SrRNA and 16SrRNA) genes, and two control regions (D-loop) genes. ND6 and eight tRNA genes (tRNA(Gln), tRNA(Ala), tRNA(Asn), tRNA(Cys), tRNA(Tyr), tRNA(Ser(UCN)), tRNA(Pro), and tRNA(Glu)) encoded on light strand, and the other 12 protein-coding genes encoded on heavy strand. Mitochondrial genes had been widely used in studies of phylogenetic relationships, molecular diagnostics, and an important tool for genome architecture, it has a significance mean for us provided the complete mitochondrial genome of G. elliotii to the Timaliidae family construction in the future.
