Complete mitochondrial genome of Saltator similis (Aves, Passeriformes)

Saltator similis, popularly known as Green-winged Saltator, is one of the most trafficked species in Brazil. DNA from a muscle tissue sample was sequenced on MiSeq (Illumina) sequencer. The reads were assembled to reference using Geneious. The mtDNA consisted of 16,750 base pairs containing 2 riboso...

Description
Summary:Saltator similis, popularly known as Green-winged Saltator, is one of the most trafficked species in Brazil. DNA from a muscle tissue sample was sequenced on MiSeq (Illumina) sequencer. The reads were assembled to reference using Geneious. The mtDNA consisted of 16,750 base pairs containing 2 ribosomal RNA, 22 transporter RNA, 13 protein-coding genes, and 1 control region. Most of the tRNA and PCGs were encoded on the heavy strand.
