Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Grey-streaked Flycatcher (Muscicapa griseisticta) has been determined by the polymerase chain reaction method for the first time using the muscle tissue. The overall base composition of grey-streaked flycatcher mitogenome is 29.3% for A, 31.9% for C, 14.9% for G, and 23.9% for T. The percentage of G + C content is 46.8%. The total length of the sequence is 17,897 bp, which contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 2 control regions. Phylogenetic analysis on the basis of 12 protein-coding genes and 2 rRNA genes of 16 passeriformes species’ mitochondrial genomes using maximum likelihood (ML) demonstrated that Oriental Magpie Robin (Copsychus saularis) is the most closest to Grey-streaked Flycatcher.
