The complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analyses of Cathartes melambrotus (Wetmore 1964) (Aves: Cathartidae)

Cathartes melambrotus is the largest member of the genus Cathartes, and soars over the forested areas of Amazonia in search of carrion. The complete mitochondrial genome of C. melambrotus was reported in this study. The 19,232 base pair genome consisted of 16 protein coding genes, 25 tRNAs, two rRNA...

description Cathartes melambrotus is the largest member of the genus Cathartes, and soars over the forested areas of Amazonia in search of carrion. The complete mitochondrial genome of C. melambrotus was reported in this study. The 19,232 base pair genome consisted of 16 protein coding genes, 25 tRNAs, two rRNAs, and two control regions. The mitochondrial genome contained the avian ancestral duplicated gene region, with the same rearrangements previously reported in Accipitriformes, Cathartiformes, and Stigiformes. With the publishing of the C. melambrotus genome all seven Cathartiformes species mitochondrial genomes are available and can be included in subsequent phylogenetic and genomic analyses.
