Characterization of the mitochondrial genome of Tinda javana (Macquart, 1838) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae: Pachygastrinae)

Abstract

We have assembled and annotated the mitochondrial genome of Tinda javana (Macquart, 1838) (a species of soldier fly) in this study. It is 15,495 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and a large non-coding control region (length: 704 bp). The nucleotide composition of whole mitochondrial genome biases toward A and T (75.5%). Most PCGs use ATN as initiation codon, except for cox1 which starts with CGA. All PCGs end with common termination codon TAA/G. Phylogenetic analyses based on the nucleotide sequence data supported the monophyly of Stratiomyidae and the sister relationship between Pachygastrinae and the clade (Nemotelinae + (Hermetiinae + Sarginae)).
