Complete mitochondrial genome of a Siberian Crane (Grus leucogeranus)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) of hemocyte from Siberian Crane (Grus leucogeranus) was sequenced using high-throughput genetic sequencing, and mitochondrial genome was assembled using MITObim tools according complete mitochondrial genome of Grus leucogeranus (NCBI Reference Sequence: NC_020574.1). The assembled mitogenome, consisting of 16,747 bp, has unique 14 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs, and two ribosomal RNAs genes. The complete mitogenome provides essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis for Siberian Crane phylogeny.
