characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the grey-backed shrike, lanius tephronotus (aves: passeriformes): the first representative of the family laniidae with a novel caa stop codon at the end of cox2 gene.	the complete grey-backed shrike mitochondrial genome has been sequenced to be 16,820 bp in length, consisting of 37 encode genes: 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal rna genes, and 22 transfer rna genes. in addition, a single control region was also observed. compared with other reported passeriformes mtgenome sequences, three bases caa were detected at the end of lanius tephronotus cox2 gene with the downstream adjacent base t. the first base of caa probably occurred c to u transcript editing ...	2013	23387995
first data on the genetic diversity of avian haemosporidians in china: cytochrome b lineages of the genera plasmodium and haemoproteus (haemosporida) from gansu province.	a total of 76 birds belonging to 23 species and 14 families was examined for the presence of plasmodium spp. and haemoproteus spp. birds were trapped at four localities in gansu province, china, in june-july 2011. dna was isolated from blood samples and parasite detection, and identification was based on pcr assays and sequences of 479 bp of cyt b gene. the total prevalence of haemosporidians was 21.0%. haemoproteus spp. were detected in 14 birds (prevalence 18.4%). the lineage cyapic1 from cyan ...	2013	23851731
sequencing and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of brown shrike, lanius cristatus (passeriformes, laniidae).	the complete mitochondrial genome of the brown shrike (lanius cristatus) was 16 821 bp in length. the accession number was kt004451 and the contents of a, t, c, and g were 31.10%(5237 bp), 25.60%(4309 bp), 28.60%(4814 bp), and 14.60%(2461 bp), respectively. gene organization and length was similar to other species of birds. it comprises of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rrna genes, 22 trna genes and 1 control region. all protein-coding genes use the typical initiation codon atg, except for cox1 whic ...	2016	26457491
sequencing and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of rufous-tailed shrike, lanius isabellinus (passeriformes, laniidae).	the complete mitochondrial genome of the rufous-tailed shrike (lanius isabellinus) was 16 819 bp in length. the genbank accession number is kp995437 and the contents of a, t, c, and g are 31.1% (5234 bp), 25.5% (4293 bp), 28.7% (4826 bp), and 14.7% (2466 bp), respectively. gene organization and length are similar to other species of birds. it comprises 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rrna genes, 22 trna genes and a control region. all protein-coding genes use the typical initiation codon atg, except ...	2016	26457722
