Abstract

Crested goshawk (Accipiter trivirgatus) is a diurnal raptor tropical Asia which is a bird species in family Accipitridae. In the present study, we determined its complete mitochondrial genome by PCR-based method. The complete mitochondrial genome was 18,454 bp in length which overall base composition was 31.2% A, 24.4% T, 31.0% C, and 13.4% G. It consisted of the typical structure of 13 PCGs, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 2 control regions. All of the PCGs started with ATG codon, except for ND3 which was started with ATC. Most of the genes terminate with codons TAA. The non-coding regions include pseudo-control regions.

Keywords: Accipiter trivirgatus; gene organization; mitochondrial genome; pseudo-control regions.
