Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the Macaroni penguin Eudyptes chrysolophus from the Barton Peninsula, King George Island, Antarctica
The Macaroni penguin Eudyptes chrysolophus is a small crested penguin. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of E. chrysolophus is revealed for the first time. The mitogenome sequence is circular and 17,059 bp in length. It contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) g...
