The complete mitochondrial genome of Japanese Marsh Warbler, Locustella pryeri

Abstract

We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of Japanese Marsh Warbler (Locustella pryeri) for the first time. The mitogenome was 17,968 bp in length, contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 2 putative control regions. The total base composition of the mitogenome was 29.7% for A, 24.1% for T, 31.9% for C and 14.3% for G. The complete mitogenome sequence provides useful information for phylogenetic analyses among Passeriformes and species conservation.
