The complete mitochondrial genome of Hydrotaea dentipes (Diptera: Muscidae)
Abstract
Hydrotaea dentipes (Diptera: Muscidae) is one of the forensically important fly species and distributed worldwide. We describe the complete mitochondrial genome of the H. dentipes for the first time. It is a circular molecule of 16,070 bp in size, consisting of A (40.10%), G (9.20%), T (38.50%), and C (12.30%). The order and structure of the genes are similar to other Muscidae species. The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) is composed of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and a non-coding AT-rich region. Most PCGs used the canonical putative codon to start and stop.
