As the development of the new generation of sequencing (NGS) technologies, it has been used for standard sequencing applications more and more popular. We used NGS technologies to resequence the complete mitochondrial genome of Japanese quail. The complete mitochondrial genome of Japanese quail is a 16,668 bp circular molecule, which contains 37 typical mitochondrial genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, and 22 tRNAs) and a 1156 bp D-loop. Its gene arrangement pattern is identical with typical other Galliformes. All protein-coding genes start with an ATG codon except , which start with GTG. TAA is the most frequent stop codon, although end with TAG, and and end with AGG, and end with TGC. The mtDNA sequence contains 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA of rRNA. Except for and without the dihydrouridine (DHU) arm, all tRNAs could be folded into canonical cloverleaf secondary structures. has close relative with .
随着新一代测序（NGS）技术的发展，它在标准测序应用中的使用越来越普遍。我们使用NGS技术对日本鹌鹑的完整线粒体基因组进行重测序。日本鹌鹑的完整线粒体基因组是一个16,668 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1156 bp的D环。其基因排列模式与其他典型鸡形目相同。除了 以GTG起始外，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，尽管 以TAG结尾， 和 以AGG结尾， 和 以TGC结尾。线粒体DNA序列包含rRNA的12S rRNA和16S rRNA。除了 和 没有二氢尿嘧啶（DHU）臂外，所有tRNA都可以折叠成典型的三叶草二级结构。 与 有密切亲缘关系。
