Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016 Jul;27(4):2473-4. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2015.1033703. Epub 2015 Jun 11.

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial DNA genome of spoon-billed sandpiper Eurynorhynchus pygmeus was determined by using the polymerase chain reaction method and the phylogenetic tree including 15 species of Charadriiformes were reconstructed to validate our samples in this study. The circular mitogenome (16,707 bp in length) contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA), 22 tRNA genes and a control region. The content of four kinds of bases of the complete mitochondrial DNA is 31.29% for A, 24.85% for T, 13.84% for G and 30.02% for C, respectively.

Keywords: Charadriiformes; Eurynorhynchus pygmeus; mitogenome.
