In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the Merlin (Falco columbarius) was sequenced and reported for the first time using muscle tissue. The total length is 17,516 bp and sequence analysis showed its structure is similar to the other raptors, which contains 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 1 control region and 1 extra pseudo-control region. An extra nucleotide (C) is determined at position 174 relative to the ND3 sequence of the Merlin, which is similar to other Falco.
在本研究中,首次利用肌肉组织对矛隼(Falco columbarius)的完整线粒体基因组进行了测序和报道。其全长为17,516 bp,序列分析表明其结构与其他猛禽相似,包含2个rRNA基因、22个tRNA基因、13个蛋白质编码基因、1个控制区和1个额外的假控制区。相对于矛隼的ND3序列,在第174位确定了一个额外的核苷酸(C),这与其他隼属物种相似。
