Complete sequence determination and analysis of the Guangxi Phasianus colchicus (Galliformes: Phasianidae) mitochondrial genome.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the GuangxiPhasianus colchicuswas measured by PCR-based methods and analyzed in detail. Our research findings reveal that the entire mitochondrial genome ofP. colchicusis a circular molecule of length 16,687 bp (GenBank accession number: KT364526). The contents of A, T, C, and G in the mitochondrial genome were found to be 30.64%, 25.29%, 30.81% and 13.26%, respectively. The complete mitochondrial genome of theP. colchicusis a typical structure, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 1 control region (D-loop region). This complete mitochondrial genome sequence provides essential information in understanding phylogenetic relationships among Galliformes mitochondrial genomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
