Complete mitochondrial genome of Dacus trimacula (Diptera: Tephritidae) using next-generation sequencing from China

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the fruit fly species Dacus trimacula (Diptera: Tephritidae: Dacinae) are sequenced and annotated. The mitochondrial genome is 15,851 bp (GenBank No. MK940811) has an A + T content of 72.8% (A 39.2%; C 17.0%; G 10.2%, and T 33.6%), which is the classical structure for insect mitogenome. All PCGs started with ATN and stopped with TAN. The phylogenetic tree confirms that D. trimacula clustered with D. longicornis as the sister group to Zeugodacus. This study enriches the mitogenomes of the fruit flies.
