The complete mitochondrial genome of the Yellow-rumped Flycatcher (Ficedula zanthopygia) from Maorshan, China

Abstract

The Yellow-rumped Flycatcher (Ficedula zanthopygia) is a secondary cavity nesting bird and widely distributed in China, Mongolia, Russia and Korea. In this study firstly sequenced the mitotic genome of the Yellow-rumped Flycatcher (Ficedula zanthopygia) gathered at Maorshan, China, using Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology, and then annotated the assembly. The total length of the complete mitochondrial genome is 16,730 bp and it consists of 13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA, 2 rRNA genes, and 1 control region (CR). The CR is 1148 bp in length. The nucleotide composition is 29.59% A, 14.75% T, 32.13% G, 23.54% C. The result of phylogenetic analysis showed that there is close genetic relationship among Ficedula zanthopygia and Ficedula hyperythra.
