Mitochondrial genome has proven to be a powerful tool for phylogenetic inference, phylogeography, and molecular evolution. In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Emberiza tristrami (Passeriformes: Emberizidae) for use in future phylogenetic analyses. This circular mitochondrial genome is 16,789 bp in length and composed of 13 typical protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 putative control region (CR). One extra nucleotide "C" of nad3 is not detected in the mitogenome of E. tristrami. The CR of E. tristrami can be divided into three domains: ETAS (extended termination-associated sequence) domain I (nt 1-431), central conserved domain II (nt 432-847), and CSB (conserved sequence block) domain III (nt 848-1217). Six conserved sequence boxes in the central conserved domain II were identified as boxes F, E, D, C, b, and B.
线粒体基因组已被证明是用于系统发育推断、系统地理学和分子进化研究的有力工具。在本研究中,我们测定了黄眉鹀(雀形目:鹀科)的完整线粒体基因组,以供未来的系统发育分析使用。这个环状线粒体基因组长度为16,789 bp,由13个典型的蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA基因、2个核糖体RNA基因和1个假定的控制区(CR)组成。在黄眉鹀的线粒体基因组中未检测到nad3的一个额外核苷酸“C”。黄眉鹀的控制区可分为三个结构域:ETAS(延伸终止相关序列)结构域I(核苷酸1 - 431)、中央保守结构域II(核苷酸432 - 847)和CSB(保守序列块)结构域III(核苷酸848 - 1217)。中央保守结构域II中的六个保守序列框被鉴定为框F、E、D、C、b和B。
