Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Garrulax milnei was sequenced for the first time. This mitogenome is 17,871bp in length and it contains 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 1 control region and 1 extra pseudo-control region. The base composition of the mitochondrial genome is 29.7% A, 24.5% T, 14.2% G and 31.6% C. The phylogenetic analysis based on the 12 protein-coding genes (except for ND6 gene) showed that G. milnei clusters with other two species that belong to genus Garrulax.
