The complete mitochondrial genome of dark-sided flycatcher Muscicapa sibirica (Passeriformes: Muscicapidae).

We report the mitochondrial genome of Muscicapa sibirica. The overall base composition of the dark-sided flycatcher mitogenome is 24% T, 31.8% C, 29.4% A, and 14.8% G, with an A + T content of 53.4%. The total length of the sequence is 17,879 bp (13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 2 control regions). Phylogenetic analysis was performed based on the concatenated nucleotide sequences of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and cytochrome b using the neighbor-joining method and the Kimura 2-parameter model in MEGA 7.0 with 1000 bootstrap replicates.
