The present study provides the first full mitochondrial genome sequence of a long-billed plover from South Korea. This mitogenome is 16,895 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal-RNA genes, 22 transfer-RNA genes, and a non-coding control region. Overall, base composition was: A, 31.4%; C, 31.1%; G, 13.8%; and T, 23.8%. A frameshift mutation in the gene was identified and a tandem repeat (AACA) was observed in the D-loop region. The phylogenetic analysis based on concatenated coding genes indicated Charadriidae's monophyly. These results contribute to further understanding of long-billed plover phylogenetic relationships and species identification.
本研究提供了来自韩国的长嘴鸻的首个完整线粒体基因组序列。该线粒体基因组长度为16,895 bp，由13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA基因、22个转运RNA基因和一个非编码控制区组成。总体而言，碱基组成为：A，31.4%；C，31.1%；G，13.8%；T，23.8%。在该基因中鉴定出一个移码突变，并在D环区域观察到一个串联重复序列（AACA）。基于串联编码基因的系统发育分析表明鸻科的单系性。这些结果有助于进一步了解长嘴鸻的系统发育关系和物种鉴定。
