Complete mitochondrial genomesequence of the hen harrier (Circus cyaneus).

ABSTRACT: In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the Hen Harrier (Circus cyaneus) was sequenced. The genome is found to be 18,754 bp in length and has a base composition of A (31.7%), G (13.0%), C (31.2%), and T (24.1%). Similar to other Circus species, it contains a typically conserved structure including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 2 control region (D-loop), and 22 tRNA genes. A phylogenetic analysis between 17 species using 12 protein-coding genes proved that Accipiter gentilis is the most close to Circus cyaneus.
