title: The complete mitochondrial genome of Pseudopodoces humilis (Passeriformes, Paridae).
abstract: The complete sequence of Pseudopodoces humilis mitochondrial genome was determined by using L-PCR and conserved primer walking approaches. The results showed that the entire mitochondrial genome of P. humilis was 16,758 bp in length with 52.5% A + T content; the genome harbored the same gene order with that of other birds, including 2 rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes and 1 non-coding control region. All tRNAs formed typical cloverleaf secondary structures (excluding tRNASer-AGN). The control region (D-loop) of P. humilis was located between tRNAGluand tRNAPhewith 1168 bp length, no repetitive sequence.
