Abstract

Abstract: The grey-capped woodpecker ( Dendrocopos canicapillus ) is one species of family Picidae. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of D. canicapillus was determined and annotated for the first time. It is a circular molecule of 16, 843 bp in size and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 control regions. The total base composition is 28.28% for A, 24.47% for T, 33.39% for C and 13.85% for G, respectively. A phylogenetic tree based on the DNA data of 13 PCGs using Neighbour Joining method was constructed to provide phylogenetic relationship between D. canicapillus and other species of Picidae.
