The complete mitochondrial genome of an Asian crested ibis Nipponia nippon (Pelecaniformes, Threskiornithidae) from South Korea

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence from the Asian crested ibis, Nipponia nippon (Aves, Pelecaniformes, Threskiornithidae), was determined and characterized in detail. This mitochondrial genome is 16,813 bp long, and consists of 13 PCGs, 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs. The nucleotide composition is sl...

Sumario:The complete mitochondrial genome sequence from the Asian crested ibis, Nipponia nippon (Aves, Pelecaniformes, Threskiornithidae), was determined and characterized in detail. This mitochondrial genome is 16,813 bp long, and consists of 13 PCGs, 22 tRNAs, and 2 rRNAs. The nucleotide composition is slightly biased with A + T contents of 53.79% (A, T, C, and G was 30.37%, 23.42%, 31.99%, and 14.22%, respectively). 11 PCGs are initiated by ATN codons, except for cox1 and cox2 with GTG instead. The phylogenetic relationships based on the maximum-likelihood and Bayesian methods showed that the placement of N. nippon within the order Pelecaniformes, with forming the monoclade of the family Threskiornithidae.
