The complete mitochondrial genome of the Palawan peacock-pheasantPolyplectron napoleonisis 16,710 bp and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a control-region. All protein-coding genes use the standard ATG start codon, except forcox1which has GTG start codon. Seven out of 13 PCGs have TAA stop codons, two have AGG (cox1andnd6), and three PCGs (nd2, cox2andnd4) have incomplete stop codon of just T– – nucleotide. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Germain's Peacock-Pheasant Polyplectron germaini (Aves, Galliformes, Phasianidae) is classified as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List. The complete mitochondrial genome of P. germaini is 16,699 bp, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA, 22 tRNA genes and 1 control region. All of the 13 protein-coding genes have ATG as start codon. Eight of the 13 protein-coding genes have TAA as stop codon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
