| rapid characterization of mitochondrial genome rearrangements in australian songbirds using next-generation sequencing technology. | using next-generation sequencing technology, we describe the complete mitochondrial genomes for 5 australian passerine birds (epthianura albifrons, petroica phoenicea, petroica goodenovii, petroica boodang, and eopsaltria australis). we successfully assemble each mitogenome de novo using just 1/8th of a roche gl fsx 454 pyrosequencing plate. from the assembled mitogenomes, we identify 2 different mitochondrial gene arrangements in the region spanning 5'-3' from cytochrome b to 12s rna. these gen ... | 2012 | 23125406 |
