Mitochondrial DNA. 2015;26(6):910-1. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2013.863286. Epub 2014 Jan 10.
In this study we report the complete mitochondrial (mt) DNA sequence from Cinereous vulture Aegypius monachus, a large raptorial bird species of Falconiformes. The mtDNA is a 17,811-bp circular molecule with a total A+T content of 54.03%. The mitochondrial genome contains 37 genes and an extra pseudo-control region. The gene arrangement pattern is identical to Buteo and Falco, which has remnant CR2 gene order. All protein-coding genes use the standard mitochondrial initiation codon ATN, except for COI start with GTG. Of the 13 protein coding genes, 11 stop with TAN, the COI and ND1 stop with AGG. All tRNAs possess the classic clover-leaf secondary structure except for tRNASer (AGN) and tRNALys (CUN), which lacks the "DHU" stem, only forming a simple loop. The non-coding region contains some intergenic spacers, a control region and an extra pseudo-control region.
在本研究中，我们报道了秃鹫（Aegypius monachus）的完整线粒体（mt）DNA序列，秃鹫是隼形目一种大型猛禽。线粒体DNA是一个17,811碱基对的环状分子，A+T总含量为54.03%。线粒体基因组包含37个基因和一个额外的假控制区。基因排列模式与Buteo和Falco相同，具有残留的CR2基因顺序。除COI以GTG起始外，所有蛋白质编码基因均使用标准的线粒体起始密码子ATN。在13个蛋白质编码基因中，11个以TAN终止，COI和ND1以AGG终止。除了缺少“DHU”茎、仅形成简单环的tRNASer（AGN）和tRNALys（CUN）外，所有tRNA都具有经典的三叶草叶二级结构。非编码区包含一些基因间隔区、一个控制区和一个额外的假控制区。
