Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the fulvous parrotbill (Paradoxornis fulvifrons) has been determined from Illumina sequencing data. The circular genome is 17 059 bp long, comprising 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes/PCGs, 22 tRNA genes and two rRNA genes) and a putative control region. Except for COX1 with GTG as its start codon, all PCGs are initiated with the ATR (ATA/ATG) codons. One PCG (COX1) is terminated with AGG, three PCGs (COX3, ND2 and ND4) with the incomplete stop codon T--/TA-, while all the others with TAA. The 22 tRNAs range in size from 64 bp (tRNA-Ser) to 75 bp (tRNA-Leu). The two rRNAs are 982 bp (12S rRNA) and 1600 bp (16S rRNA) long, respectively. The putative control region is located between tRNA-Thr and tRNA-Pro genes with a length of 1235 bp. The base composition is biased (29.06% A, 31.10% C, 14.97% G and 24.87% T) with an overall A + T content of 53.93% ("light strand"). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that P. fulvifrons is closely related to the congeneric vinous-throated parrotbill (P. webbianus).
