The mitogenome of S. decaocto is comprised of 13 PCGs, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, non-coding regions and a control region and this structure is similar to those of other doves
After DNA isolation, 1 g of purified DNA fragment for each sample was used to construct short-insert libraries according to the manufacturers instructions (Illumina). The short fragments were sequenced using an Illumina Hiseq 4000 sequencing system at Total Genomics Solution (TGS) Institute in Shenzhen, China
