The complete mitochondrial genome and the phylogenetic position of Alauda gulgula (Aves: Passeriformes)
The Oriental Skylark (Alauda gulgula) is a small songbird in the Alaudidae. Here we assembled the complete mitochondrial genome of Alauda gulgula which is 17,055 bp in length and consisting of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA, and 2 extensive heteroplasmic control reg...

| Summary: | The Oriental Skylark (Alauda gulgula) is a small songbird in the Alaudidae. Here we assembled the complete mitochondrial genome of Alauda gulgula which is 17,055 bp in length and consisting of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA, and 2 extensive heteroplasmic control regions. The overall A + T content of the mitogenome is 52.3%The maximum-likelihood (ML) tree based on the complete mitochondrial genome of A. gulgula revealed the close genetic relationship between A. gulgula and A. arvensis, but separate from A. cheleensis. |
