title: Complete mitochondrial genome of Palawan peacock-pheasant Polyplectron napoleonis (Galliformes, Phasianidae).
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of the Palawan peacock-pheasant Polyplectron napoleonis is 16,710 bp and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a control-region. All protein-coding genes use the standard ATG start codon, except for cox1 which has GTG start codon. Seven out of 13 PCGs have TAA stop codons, two have AGG (cox1 and nd6), and three PCGs (nd2, cox2 and nd4) have incomplete stop codon of just T- - nucleotide.
