The complete mitochondrial genome of Anas penelope (Anatidae: Anas)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial DNA genome of the Eurasian Wigeon, Anas penelope, was mapped by the next-generation sequencing and Mega 7.0. The circular mitogenome (16,596 bp in length) contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes (12S ribosomal RNA and 16S ribosomal RNA), 22 tRNA genes and a control region. The content of four base pairs of the complete mitochondrial DNA is 28.9% of A, 22.3%of T, 32.7%of C and 16.1% of G. To validate the phylogenetic relationship, 25 published complete mitochondrial genomes of Anseriformesalong with the genome of Terek sandpiper were used to construct the phylogenetic tree.
