Complete mitochondrial genome and the phylogenetic position of the common cuckoo, Cuculus canorus bakeri (Aves: Cuculiformes).

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome of Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus bakeri) is determined in this study and was deposited in Genbank with accession number MN067867. The length of the mitogenome is 17,457 base pairs (bp) including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer (t RNA) RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA (r RNA) genes, one control region (CR) and one short pseudo-control region. The structure is similar to mitochondrial genome of other Cuculiforme species. Phylogenetic tree shows that C. canorus bakeri is closely related to C. poliocephalus. The study has provided useful information for further studies on the evolution, genetic diversity, and phylogenetic relationships in Common Cuckoo.
