Phylogenetic relationship and characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of the alpine leaf-warbler in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

ABSTRACT: The Alpine Leaf-warbler (Phylloscopus occisinensis) is a small-sized and poorly-known songbird endemic to China. In this study, we sequenced and described the whole mitochondrial genome of the Alpine leaf-warbler. The entire mitochondrial sequence was determined by long-range PCR and conserved primer walking approaches. The results demonstrated that the whole mitochondrial genome of P. occisinensis was 16,879 bp in length with 53.1% A + T content; the genome harboured the same gene order as that of other passerine birds, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and non-coding control region. The control region (D-loop) of P. rubicilloides include two portions that one was located between tRNA-Gln and tRNA-Phe (219 bp in length) and the other is be
