Abstract: The complete mitochondrial genomes of two Sri Lankan junglefowl ( Gallus lafayetti : CJF) individuals were sequenced by using next-generation sequencing technique. Samples were collected from Rathnapura and Pelmadulla areas in Sri Lanka. The complete mitochondrial DNA is 16,839 bp in length, with a typical mitogenome structure composed of a non-coding control region, 22 tRNA, two rRNA, and 13 protein-coding genes. Overall base composition is 30% A, 23.9% T, 32.3% C, and 13.6% G indicating high content of 54.0% A + T for both individuals. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that CJF samples cluster with the clade of the green junglefowl ( Gallus varius ) and red junglefowl ( Gallus gallus ) than to grey junglefowl ( Gallus sonerattii : GyJF). This result can be subsequently used to provide essential information for junglefowl evolution.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist and are solely responsible for this paper.<br /> (© 2018 The Author(s).
