Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016 Sep;27(5):3131-2. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2015.1007298. Epub 2015 Feb 18.

Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence of Polytremis nascens (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) was determined. The 15,392 bp mitogenome with GenBank accession number KM981865 contained 13 protein genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and a non-coding control region (D-loop). All the 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes were found. The overall base composition was 39.7% A, 40.7% T, 7.7% G and 11.9% C, with a high A + T content (80.4%). This complete mitogenome of P. nascens provides a basic data for studies on species identification, molecular systematics and conservation genetics.

Keywords: Hesperiidae; Lepidoptera; Polytremis nascens; mitogenome.
