The mitochondrial genome of Brown wood owl is a 16,308-bp circular molecule, which contains 37 typical mitochondrial genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs and 22 tRNAs) and a 741-bp A+T-rich region. Its gene arrangement pattern is identical with typical bird species. All protein-coding genes start with an ATG codon. TAA is the most frequent stop codon, and TAG and T- are also occurred very common. The mtDNA sequence contains 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA of rRNA. Except for tRNA(Ser) ((AGY)) and tRNA(Leu) ((CUN)) without the dihydrouridine (DHU) arm, all tRNAs could be folded into canonical cloverleaf secondary structures.
褐林鸮的线粒体基因组是一个16308 bp的环状分子，包含37个典型的线粒体基因（13个蛋白质编码基因、2个rRNA和22个tRNA）以及一个741 bp的富含A+T区域。其基因排列模式与典型鸟类物种相同。所有蛋白质编码基因均以ATG密码子起始。TAA是最常见的终止密码子，TAG和T-也很常见。线粒体DNA序列包含rRNA的12S rRNA和16S rRNA。除了tRNA(Ser) ((AGY))和tRNA(Leu) ((CUN))没有二氢尿嘧啶（DHU）臂外，所有tRNA均可折叠成典型的三叶草二级结构。
