Abstract
In this study, the complete sequence of the mitochondrial (mt) genome of Buteo buteo burmanicus was determined. This mitogenome was 18,231 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, a control region (CR) and a pseudo-control region (ψCR). The overall base composition of the heavy strand was A, 30.8%; G, 13.2%; C, 31.8%; and T, 24.2%, with a slight AT bias of 65.1%. The complete mitogenomic data may provide more informative for phylogenetic approach for soft corals phylogeny especially for Buteo species.
