Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016;27(1):615-7. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2014.908371. Epub 2014 Apr 16.
The circular mitochondrial genome of Crossoptilon auritum is 16,687 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and a putative control region. All of the genes encoded on the H-strand, except for one PCG (nad6) and eight tRNA genes (tRNA(Gln), tRNA (Ala), tRNA (Asn), tRNA(Cys), tRNA(Tyr), tRNA(Ser)((UCN)), tRNA(Pro), and tRNA(Glu)), as found in many other birds' mitochondrial genomes. All of these PCGs are initiated with ATG, except for cox1 and nad5, which began with GTG, while stopped by four types of stop codons. All tRNA genes have the potential to fold into typical clover-leaf structure. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the genus Crossoptilon was the sister of the genus Lophura.
褐马鸡的环状线粒体基因组长度为16,687 bp,包含13个蛋白质编码基因(PCGs)、2个核糖体RNA基因、22个转运RNA(tRNA)基因和一个假定的控制区。除了一个PCG(nad6)和八个tRNA基因(tRNA(Gln)、tRNA(Ala)、tRNA(Asn)、tRNA(Cys)、tRNA(Tyr)、tRNA(Ser)((UCN))、tRNA(Pro)和tRNA(Glu))外,所有基因都编码在H链上,这与许多其他鸟类的线粒体基因组情况相同。所有这些PCGs均以ATG起始,但cox1和nad5除外,它们以GTG起始,由四种类型的终止密码子终止。所有tRNA基因都有可能折叠成典型的三叶草结构。系统发育分析表明,褐马鸡属是蓝鹇属的姐妹属。
