Turdoides affinis mitogenome reveals the translational efficiency and importance of NADH dehydrogenase complex-I in the Leiothrichidae family.

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial genome provides useful information about species concerning its evolution and phylogenetics. We have taken the advantage of high throughput next-generation sequencing technique to sequence the complete mitogenome of Yellow-billed babbler (Turdoides affinis), a species endemic to Peninsular India and Sri Lanka. Both, reference-based and de-novo assemblies of mitogenome were performed and observed that de-novo assembled mitogenome was most appropriate. The complete mitogenome of yellow-billed babbler (assembled de-novo) was 17,672 bp in length with 53.2% AT composition. Thirteen protein-coding genes along with two rRNAs and 22 tRNAs were detected. The arrangement pattern of these genes was found conserved among Leiothrichidae family mitogenomes. Duplicated control regions were
