Abstract

The Siberian accentor, Prunella montanella (Passeriformes, Prunellidae), is a small passerine bird. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Siberian accentor was determined. It has a total length of 16 832 bp, and contains 13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two ribosome RNA genes, and one control region. The nucleotide composition is 30.1% for A, 31.0% for C, 15.0% for G and 23.9% for T, respectively. The overall GC content is lower than AT. The phylogenetic tree of Siberian accentor and 10 other species belonging to order Passeriformes was built. The DNA data presented here will be useful to study the evolutionary relationships and genetic diversity of Siberian accentors.
