Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016 Nov;27(6):4088-4089. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2014.1003857. Epub 2015 Jan 28.

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Pieris canidia was investigated and analyzed. The mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 15,153 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and an A+T-rich region. The nucleotide composition of the P. canidia mitogenome is strongly biased toward A+T nucleotides (79.66%). Nine protein-coding genes and 14 tRNA genes are encoded on the H strand, and the other 4 protein-coding genes and 8 tRNA genes are encoded on the L strand. The arrangement of genes is identical to all know the genus Pieris species.

Keywords: Lepidoptera; Pieris canidia; mitochondrial genome; pieridae.
