The northern red-shouldered macaw, , is listed in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora Appendix II. Here, we report for the first time the complete mitochondrial genome of This new sequence is 16,992 base pairs (bp) in length and includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and a single non-coding control region. The overall nucleotide composition of this sequence consists of 30.40% A, 14.00% G, 23.60% T, and 32.00% C. The phylogenetic relationships suggested that the mitogenome of is close to that of three other macaw species. Our results provide useful mitogenomic information to support further studies on the phylogeny and taxonomy of Psittaciformes.
北方红肩金刚鹦鹉被列入《濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约》附录二。在此,我们首次报告了北方红肩金刚鹦鹉的完整线粒体基因组。这个新序列长度为16992个碱基对(bp),包括13个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA、两个核糖体RNA和一个非编码控制区。该序列的总体核苷酸组成包括30.40%的A、14.00%的G、23.60%的T和32.00%的C。系统发育关系表明,北方红肩金刚鹦鹉的线粒体基因组与其他三种金刚鹦鹉物种的线粒体基因组相近。我们的结果提供了有用的线粒体基因组信息,以支持对鹦形目系统发育和分类学的进一步研究。
