Black-faced bunting (Emberiza spodocephala) is a common small songbird with widely geographical range. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the Emberiza spodocephala was determined. The study showed that the total length of the mitogenome was 16,796 bp as a circular DNA consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 1 control region (CR). Overall base composition of the complete mitochondrial DNA was 29.81% A, 23.12% T, 32.51% C, and 14.56% G. The CR is 1215 bp in length and was located between the tRNA(Gln) and tRNA(Phe) genes. The mitochondrial genes from Emberiza spodocephala were overlapped in a total of 29 bp at 6 locations, as well as interleaved with a total of 96 bp intergenic spacers at 18 locations.
黑脸鹀(Emberiza spodocephala)是一种分布范围广泛的常见小型鸣禽。在本研究中,测定了黑脸鹀的完整线粒体基因组。研究表明,线粒体基因组全长16,796 bp,为环状DNA,由13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA基因、2个rRNA基因和1个控制区(CR)组成。完整线粒体DNA的总体碱基组成为:A占29.81%、T占23.12%、C占32.51%、G占14.56%。控制区长1215 bp,位于tRNA(Gln)和tRNA(Phe)基因之间。黑脸鹀的线粒体基因在6个位置共有29 bp的重叠,在18个位置还有总共96 bp的基因间隔区。
