Project description:In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Garrulax milnei was sequenced for the first time. This mitogenome is 17,871bp in length and it contains 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 1 control region and 1 extra pseudo-control region. The base composition of the mitochondrial genome is 29.7% A, 24.5% T, 14.2% G and 31.6% C. The phylogenetic analysis based on the 12 protein-coding genes (except for ND6 gene) showed that G. milnei clusters with other two species that belong to genus Garrulax.
