Abstract
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the Upland Buzzard (Buteo hemilasius) was sequenced and reported for the first time using the muscle tissue. The mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 18 079 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 1 control region, and 1 extra pseudo-control region. A phylogenetic analysis on the basis of 12 protein-coding genes (except ND6 gene) of 14 Falconiformes species’ mitochondrial genomes using maximum-likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) demonstrated that all species cluster into two clades and B. hemilasius is close to B. buteo.
