The mitochondrial genome analysis of Trypetoptera punctulata (Diptera: Sciomyzidae)

Abstract

The mitochondrial genome of Trypetoptera punctulate Scopoli, 1763, the first representative of Sciomyzidae, was sequenced and annotated. And we used this new nucleotide information under Maximum Likelihood analyses to explore the superfamilies relationships of Acalyptratae. The nucleotide composition of Trypetoptera punctulata mitochondrial genome was 34.6% of A, 33.9% of T, 17.6% of C, 13.9% of G, 68.5% of A + T content. The start codon ATG was shared with COX2, COX3, CYTB and ND4; the start codon ATA was shared with ATP6, ND5 and ND6; the ATP8 and ND1 started with codon ATT; the COX1 and ND3 started with codon ATC, and the ND2 and ND6 started with codon TTG. The conservative stop codon TAA was shared with ATP6, ATP8, COX1, COX3, ND1, ND2, ND4, ND4L, ND5 and ND6; and the stop codon TAG was shared with CYTB and ND3.
