Complete mitochondrial genome sequence for the Taiwan Blue Magpie Urocissa caerulea (Passeriformes: Corvidae).

ABSTRACT: Taiwan Blue Magpie (Urocissa caerulea) is endemic to Taiwan and listed as threatened species protected by law. In this study, we first determined and described the complete mitochondrial genome of Taiwan Blue Magpie. The circle genome is 16,928 bp in length, and contains 13 protein coding, 22 tRNA, two rRNA genes, and one non-coding control region (CR). The overall base composition of the mitochondrial DNA is 30.99% for A, 24.69% for T, 30.07% for C, and 14.25% for G. The percentage of G + C content is 44.32%. This work provides fundamental molecular data which will be useful for evolution and phylogeny studies on Corvidae in the future.

Complete mitochondrial genome of Urocissa erythroryncha (Passeriformes: Corvidae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of Urocissa erythroryncha is 16930 bp in length. It was predicted to contain 13 PCGs, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes, and a putative control region. All of the PCGs initiated with ATG, except for MT-COX1 which began with GTG and MT-ND3 began with ATA, while stopped by three types of stop codons. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Urocissa erythroryncha and the other species of Corvidae were monophyletic group in this study. And the monophyly of the genus Pyrrhocorax was strongly supported. Moreover, our results also support a sister-group relationship between Corvidae and Muscicapidae.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Eophona migratoria (Passeriformes Fringillidae).

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Eophona migratoria was determined by shotgun sequencing and reported for the first time using the muscle tissue. The total length of the sequence is 16,798 bp, which contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 1 control region, and 1 extra pseudo-control region. A phylogenetic analysis on the basis of 12 protein-coding genes of 14 passeriformes species' mitochondrial genomes using maximum-likelihood (ML) demonstrated that Coccothraustes coccothraustes is the most close to E. migratoria.

Analysis of complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Kessleri thrush, Turdus kessleri (Passeriformes, Turdidae).

Project description:In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of T. kessleri was sequenced and characterized. The overall base composition of T. kessleri mitogenome is 29.3% for A, 32.3% for C, 15.0% for G, and 23.5% for T. The percentage of G + C content is 47.2%.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Alcippe ruficapilla (Passeriformes: Timaliidae) and phylogenetic position.

Project description:In this work, we first reported the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of Alcippe ruficapilla by next-generation sequencing (NGS). The complete mitogenome of A. ruficapilla was 16,941 bp in length and contained the typical structure of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs) and 2 no-coding control regions (D-loop). Nucleotide composition of the whole mitogenome was 29.2% A, 24.2% T, 31.87% C, and 14.8% G, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that Alcippe ruficapilla gathered into a single branch with Montifrigilla henrici and Acrocephalus scirpaceus with strong support.

Complete mitochondrial genome of Grey Treepie, Dendrocitta formosae (Aves: Corvidae).

Project description:We report the complete mitochondrial genome of Dendrocitta formosae. The genome is a closed circular molecule of 16,875 bp, with all genes exhibiting typical avian gene arrangement. The overall base composition of this species' mitogenome is 24.33% T, 30.49% C, 30.17% A, and 15.01% G. The A + T content is 54.50%. Phylogenetic analysis of the complete mitogenome of 12 species conducted using the neighbour-joining method and kimura 2-parameter model suggested that the mitogenome of D. formosae was the closest to that of Pyrrhocorax graculus and P. pyrrhocorax. The results could aid future studies on Dendrocitta and Pyrrhocorax molecular evolution and phylogeny.

Complete mitochondrial genome of Minla ignotincta (Passeriformes: Timaliidae).

Project description:We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome from Minla ignotincta. The genome sequence was 17 868 bp in length, and the gene arrangement and contents were identical to those of previously reported Timaliidae mitochondrial genomes. The overall base composition of the mitogenome is biased toward A + T content at 54.04%. All protein-coding genes (PCGs) began with ATG. Nine of the 13 PCGs used complete (TAA) or incomplete (TA or T) stop codon, while ND1 and ND5 ended with AGA, COI ended with AGG and ND6 with TAG. All the genes in M. ignotincta were distributed on the H-strand, except for the ND6 subunit gene and eight tRNA genes which were encoded on the L-strand.

Complete mitochondrial genome of Sporophila maximiliani (Ave, Passeriformes).

Project description:Sporophila maximiliani, commonly known as Great-billed Seed-Finch or 'bicudo', is a trafficked bird in Brazil due to the species' beauty and singing, which is appreciated by breeders and collectors. Generally, the Environmental Military Police and IBAMA maintain enforcement actions, rescue work, and seizure of illegally traded of 'bicudo' specimens. The genomic DNA of one specimen was sequenced on MiSeq (Illumina) sequencer. The reads obtained were analyzed, trimmed, and de novo assembled using CLC Workbench® v9.0 (CLC Bio-Qiagen). The mitochondrial genome of S. maximiliani consisted of 16,765 base pairs, 2 ribosomal RNA, 22 transporter RNA, 13 protein-coding genes, and 1 control region. The molecular phylogeny demonstrated that the mitochondrial genome of S. maximiliani diverged from others related Passeriformes.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Hypsipetes amaurotis (Passeriformes: Pycnonotidae).

Project description:The brown-eared bulbul (Hypsipetes amaurotis) is a medium-sized songbird native to East Asia and characterized by its prominent reddish-brown ear-coverts. Previous studies on it have primarily been from the taxonomic and morphological aspects, with limited research in the realm of molecular biology. In this study, we sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome of H. amaurotis, which was the first reported complete mitogenome of the genus Hypsipetes. The mitogenome of H. amaurotis is 17,871 bp in length and was predicted to encode 37 typical mitochondrial genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs). Specifically, this mitogenome contains two D-loop control regions that are of similar length and sequencing pattern. A total of 8 Pycnonotidae and six outgroup taxa were used to determine the phylogenetic placement with two methods: Maximum Likelihood Approximation (IQ-TREE) and Bayesian inference (MrBayes). Our findings reveal that H. amaurotis is phylogenetically closely related to Ixos mcclellandii. The outcomes are generally consistent with the phylogenetic trees constructed in previous studies. The data gathered from this research provides valuable insights for future genomic investigations into the evolution, ecology, and conservation of this species.
