Abstract:
Jianmen-guan phasianus colchicusare one of the most important and be cherished uncultivated animals, although, origins of the most J. phasianus colchicus remain unknown. Therefore, the complete mitochondrial genome of the J. phasianus colchicus (also named seven-colours J. phasianus colchicus, one of the oldest wild birds in China known for their preciousness) was obtained for the first time, the mitogenome is 166,786 bp in length, and it harbours 2rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22tRNA genes, and a D-loop region. According to the phylogenetic tree, we can assume that Jianmen-guan and Xianju are within the same lineage, and J. phasianus colchicus is a different group with Red Jungle.
