Abstract:
The Himalayan Beautiful Rosefinch Carpodacus pulcherrimus, belongs to the family Fringillidae, distributed in central Himalayas from India (Himachal Pradesh) to southwest China and Bhutan. The conservation status of this species is least concern (LC) in IUCN. In this study, the complete mitogenome of C. pulcherrimus was determined. The mitogenome is a circular molecule of 16,797 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosome RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 1 non-coding region. We reconstructed a phylogenetic tree based on Bayesian inference for other 14 Fringillidae species. The new mitogenome data would provide useful information for application in conservation genetics and further clarify phylogenetic evolution of this species.

LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops...
