title: Analysis of the Rongshui Xiang duck (Anseriformes, Anatidae, Anas) mitochondrial DNA.
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the Rongshui Xiang duck was measured by PCR-based methods. Our research findings reveal that the entire mitochondrial genome of the Rongshui Xiang duck is a circular molecule consisting of 16,605 bp (GenBank accession number: KJ833587). The contents of A, T, C, and G in the mitochondrial genome were found to be 29.20%, 22.20%, 32.82% and 15.79%, respectively, similar to the majority of avian species. The complete mitochondrial genome of the Rongshui Xiang duck contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 1 control region. The characteristics of the mitochondrial genome were analyzed in detail. Our complete mitochondrial genome sequence should provide essential information for understanding phylogenetic relationships among duck mitochondrial genomes.
