Complete mitochondrial genome of Pallas’s Leaf Warbler (Phylloscopus proregulus)

Abstract

In the present study, the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of Pallas’s Leaf Warbler (Phylloscopus proregulus) was determined for the first time. The mitochondrial genome of Pallas’s Leaf Warbler is a circular molecule of 16,880 bp in size and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and 2 control regions. The base composition is 32.7% for C, 14.3% for G, 30.0% for A and 23.0% for T. These data will be useful for studying the genetic diversity within the species of Pallas’s Leaf Warbler and phylogenetic relationships among different Phylloscopidae species.
