Abstract

In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of the bird Garrulax albogularis. The mitochondrial genome of G. albogularis was 17,870 bp and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and two control regions. The overall base composition of the mitogenome was biased toward at 53.83%A + T content. ND6 and nine tRNA genes were encoded on the L-strand. The other protein-coding genes (PCGs) and tRNA genes were all distributed on the H-strand.

Keywords: Garrulax albogularis; mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic analysis.
