The complete mitochondrial genome of the black-breasted thrush (passeriformes: Turdidae).

The Back-breasted Thrush ( Blyth 1847), a medium-sized bird in the Turdidae family, is widely distributed in montane areas from northeastern India and Myanmar to southern China. The mitochondrial of is packaged in a compact 16,761-basepair (bp) circular molecule with content of 52.50%. It contains 37 typical mitochondrial genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 and 22 , and 1 noncoding region. We reconstructed a phylogenetic tree based on the mitogenome sequences of 10 Turdidae species and one outgroup. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that is a sister taxon to The new mitogenome data would provide useful information for application in conservation.
