title: Determination of the complete mitogenome of Spotted Dove, Spilopelia chinensis (Columbiformes: Columbidae).
abstract: The Spotted Dove Spilopelia chinensis (Columbiformes: Columbidae) is widely distributed in Southeast Asia. In the present study, we investigated the complete mitochondrial genome of S. chinensis and the mitogenome is 16,964 bp in length, consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a non-coding control region, with the base composition of A 31.1%, G 13.9%, T 23.9%, and C 32.1%. A single extra base "C" at position 174 is inserted in gene Nd3, similar to some other birds and turtles. The phylogenetic relationships using partitioned Bayesian inference based on the 12 concatenated PCGs indicated that ((((Spilopelia, Columba) Ectopistes) (Geotrygon (Leptotila, Zenaida))) Hemiphaga). While, more complete mitogenome sequences should be determined to confirm the phylogenetic status of Spilopelia within family Columbidae.
