Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of the green-backed tit Parus monticolus was assembled from Illumina sequencing reads. The genome is 16 771 bp long, and harbors 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), and one control region. All PCGs are initiated with the ATG codon except for COX1 with GTG as its start codon. Five distinct types of stop codons are inferred, i.e. AGA (ND1 and ND5), AGG (COX1), TAA (ATP6, ATP8, COX2, ND3 and ND4L), TAG (ND6), and the incomplete codon T/TA (COX3, CYTB, ND2 and ND4). The 22 tRNAs range in size from 66 to 75 bp. The 12S and 16S rRNAs are 982 and 1601 bp long, respectively, and are separated by tRNA-Val gene. The putative control region is located between tRNA-Glu and tRNA-Phe with a length of 1187 bp. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that this species is closely related to its congener P. major.
