The snow petrel, is a small sea bird endemic to Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. Herein, we assembled a complete mitochondrial genome of the snow petrel as a first revealed genetic resource in Pagodroma family. The mitogenome is 17,279 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 genes, and two genes. Base composition is 31.3% A, 25.3% T, 30.1% C, and 13.2% G with CG content of 43.4%. These results will provide a useful basis for further genetic and phylogenetic studies of this species.
南极海燕是一种仅在南极洲和南大洋生存的小型海鸟。在此，我们组装了南极海燕的完整线粒体基因组，这是首次在雪海燕属中揭示的遗传资源。该线粒体基因组长度为17279碱基对，由13个蛋白质编码基因（PCGs）、22个基因和两个基因组成。碱基组成为31.3%A、25.3%T、30.1%C和13.2%G，CG含量为43.4%。这些结果将为该物种进一步的遗传和系统发育研究提供有用的基础。
