Abstract

In this study, we sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome of Ficedula hyperythra (Blyth, 1843). The mitogenome of F. hyperythra is 16,819 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNA, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on 13 concatenated protein-coding genes showed that F. hyperythra clustered with other Ficedula species and had a close relationship with F. albicilla.

Keywords: Ficedula hyperythra; mitochondrial genome; next-generation sequencing.
