Abstract
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus) was sequenced and reported for the first time using muscle tissue. Sequence analysis showed its genome structure was in accordance with other Accipitridae species, which contains 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 1 control region and 1 extra pseudo-control region, and its total length is 18,647 bp. An extra nucleotide (C) was determined at position 174 relative to the ND3 sequence, and an insertion of three adenines was found directly preceding the stop codon of Cytb.
