biostudies-literatureUnknown1(1)Grass AAThe complete mitochondrial genome of the Critically Endangered Trinidad Piping Guan, <i>Pipile pipile</i> (Jacquin 1784) synonym <i>Aburria pipile</i> was sequenced for the first time in this study. The genome is 16,665 bp in length with overall base compositions of 30.1, 23.7, 32.3 and 13.9% for A, T, C, and G, respectively. Structurally, the <i>P. pipile</i> mitogenome is comparable to that of other Galliformes, thereby demonstrating typical avian gene organization. The mitogenome was subsequently used to produce a revised phylogenetic placement of <i>P. pipile</i> within the Galliforme order, positioning the <i>Pipile</i> genus basal within the Cracidae family. It is further envisaged that this novel genomic data will contribute to a wider understanding of genetic relationships within the genus <i>Pipile</i> and the analysis of the evolutionary relationships of the Galliforme order in a wider avian context.Mitochondrial DNA.
