Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of Centropus sinensis is determined in this study. The circle genome with the 17 159 bp total length contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 control region. Phylogenetic tree shows that C. sinensis was sister to C. unirufus. The mitogenome of C. sinensis will contribute to researches of mitogenomic evolution, phylogenetic relationship, and conservation genetics.
