Characterisation of the complete mitochondrial genome of Bactrocera ruiliensis (Diptera: Tephritidae), with its phylogenetic analysis

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the Bactrocera ruiliensis (Diptera: Tephritidae: Dacinae) is sequenced and annotated. The mitochondrial genome is 15,870 bp (GenBank No. MN477221) and has an A + T content of 73.3% (A 39.2%; C 16.2%; G 10.3%, and T 34.4%), which is the classical structure for insect mitogenome. All PCGs started with ATN, except ATP8, which is started with TTG; 12 PCGs use TAR (TAA/TAG) as the stop codon, except COX1, which ends with single T––. The phylogenetic tree confirms that B. ruiliensis clustered with other Bactrocera species. This study enriches the mitogenomes of the fruit flies.
