The complete mitochondrial genome of Gouldian Finch (Erythrura gouldiae) and its phylogenetic analysis

Abstract

In this paper, we reported the complete mitogenome of Erythrura gouldiae. E. gouldiae mitogenome is 16,830bp base pairs long. The overall base compositions of complete mitogenomes of E. gouldiae is 30.87% A, 22.77% T, 32.07% C, 14.28% G. All genes exhibit the typical mitochondrial gene arrangement and transcribing directions. The phylogenetic analysis based on 15 mitochondrial sequence data suggested that E. gouldiae are closely related to the same family specie Taeniopygia guttata. The results obtained here would be useful for the conservation and phylogeny of E. gouldiae.
