Complete mitochondrial genome of Black Drongo Dicrurus macrocercus (Passeriformes: Dicruridae) and phylogenetic analyses.

Project description:The Black Drongo Dicrurus macrocercus is a bird belonging to the group Passeriformes, distributed almost all over the country in China. The conservation status of this species is Least Concern (LC) in IUCN. In this study, the complete mitogenome of D. macrocercus was determined. The mitochondrial DNA is packaged in a compact 17,056 based pair (bp) circular molecule with A + T content of 57.04%. It contains 37 typical mitochondrial genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs and 22 tRNAs, and 1 non-coding regions. We reconstructed a phylogenetic tree based on mitogenome sequences of 15 Dicruridae species and one outgroup. In trees, D. macrocercus was clustered as an independent clade with high support value (100). The new mitogenome data would provide useful information for application in conservation genetics and further clarify the phylogenetic evolution of this species.

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.

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 the black-breasted thrush Turdus dissimilis (passeriformes: Turdidae).

Project description:The Back-breasted Thrush (Turdus dissimilis Blyth 1847), a medium-sized Turdus bird in the Turdidae family, is widely distributed in montane areas from northeastern India and Myanmar to southern China. The mitochondrial DNA of T. dissimilis is packaged in a compact 16,761-basepair (bp) circular molecule with A + T content of 52.50%. It contains 37 typical mitochondrial genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs and 22 tRNAs, and 1 noncoding region. We reconstructed a phylogenetic tree based on the mitogenome sequences of 10 Turdidae species and one outgroup. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that T. dissimilis is a sister taxon to T. unicolor. The new mitogenome data would provide useful information for application in conservation.

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.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Turdus obscurus (Passeriformes: Turdidae).

Project description:The Eyebrowed Thrush (Turdus obscurus) is a highly migratory bird, which breeds in northeastern Asia and overwinters in southeastern Asia. We obtained the mitochondrial genome of T. obscurus by Sanger sequencing. The mitogenome was 16,739 bp in length, which contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and one control region. Its composition is consistent with the species in genus Turdus. Phylogenetic analysis based on the whole mitochondrial genome showed that the relationship between T. obscurus and Turdus kessleri was relatively close. This study improves the understanding of phylogeny and genetics of Turdidae and Muscicapoidea.
