Characterization and phylogenetic relationship of the complete mitochondrial genome of Black-cheeked Lovebird, .

The complete mitochondrial genome of was obtained using Sanger sequencing. The mitochondrial genome from is 16,718 bp in length. Its genome with an overall GC content of 48.86%, contained 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 control region. The phylogenetic position of based on the 18 parrots species showed it was sister to the same genus specie . The results obtained here can contribute to molecular evolution and phylogeny of parrots further.
