Mitochondrial DNA. 2013 Oct;24(5):484-6. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2013.770498. Epub 2013 Mar 25.
The blood pheasant Ithaginis cruentus belongs to the family Phasianidae and distributes in the eastern Himalayas, India, Nepal, Bhutan and China. In this study, the total mitochondrial genome of I. cruentus was firstly determined. The genome is 16,683 bases in length. Bayesian inference, maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony methods were used to construct phylogenetic trees based on 12 concatenated protein-coding genes on the heavy strand. Phylogenetic analyses further confirmed that Ithaginis clearly diverged later than Arborophila, and Arborophila was a basal branch within Phasianidae.
血雉（Ithaginis cruentus）属于雉科，分布于东喜马拉雅山脉、印度、尼泊尔、不丹和中国。在本研究中，首次测定了血雉的线粒体全基因组。该基因组长度为16,683个碱基。基于重链上12个串联的蛋白质编码基因，使用贝叶斯推断、最大似然法和最大简约法构建系统发育树。系统发育分析进一步证实，血雉的分化明显晚于竹鸡属（Arborophila），且竹鸡属是雉科内的一个基部类群。
