The complete mitochondrial genome of Recurvirostra avosetta (Charadriiformes: Recurvirostridea)

The complete mitochondrial genome of Recurvirostra avosetta (Charadriiformes: Recurvirostridea) is a circular DNA with 16,897 bp in length, which contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a control region. The overall base compositions of the complete mtDNA are A (31.72%), T (23.59%), G (13.56%), and C (31.13%). The non-coding regions include a control region (1333 bp) and a few intergenic spacers (range from 17 to 90). The phylogentic trees were also reconstructed to validate the samples.
