Abstract

Abstract: We sequenced the entire mitochondrial genome of Lyrurus tetrix for the first time. The mitogenome was 16, 677 bp in length, encoded with a standard set of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes plus a putative control region. Almost all genes were encoded on the H-strand except the ND6 and eight tRNA genes. All protein-coding genes initiated with ATG, except for COX1 and ND5 (GTG). An 18-bp-nucleotide deletion occured in the ND6 of Lyrurus tetrix in contrast to other Galliformes. The total base composition of the mitogenome was 30.4% for A, 30.4% for C, 25.8% for T and 13.4% for G. These results provide basic information for phylogenetic analyses among Galliformes.
