title: Mitochondrial genome of the Aix galericula (Anatidae: Aix).
abstract: Aix galericula has very wide geographical range in eastern Asia. Here, the complete mitochondrial genome of A. galericula (16,605 bp in length) been analyzed for building the database. Similar to the typical mtDNA of vertebrates, it contained 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes and 22 tRNA genes) and a non-coding region (D-loop). All the genes in A. galericula were distributed on the H-strand, except for the ND6 subunit gene and 10 tRNA genes which were encoded on the L-strand.
