Abstract

There is a lack of genomic information on Calidris tenuirostris, which can provide valuable resource for genetic diversity and conservation biology. The complete mitogenome of C. tenuirostris was 16,775 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes and 1 control region (D-loop). The overall nucleotide composition was 31.10% A, 24.9% T, 30.10% C and 13.9% G. The start codon (ATG) and end codon (TAA) were usual. Phylogenomic analysis using mitogenomes supports monophyly of Scolopacidae, and help us understand the evolutionary relationship in charadriiformes.

Keywords: Calidris tenuirostris; mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic analysis.
