Blog Article

We report the complete click here mitochondrial genome of firefly, Curtos costipennis.The circular genome of 16,626 bp and has a base composition of A (44.44%), C (11.

36%), G (7.61%), and T (36.58%).

Our sequence is similar to other Metazoa, which contains 13 protein-coding genes.All 13 protein-coding genes were click here initiated by the ATN (ATT, ATA, and ATG) codon.Nine protein-coding genes stopped with TAA or TAG codon and the other four genes have an incomplete termination codon, a single T.

We sequenced the mitochondrial genome of fireflies to analyze phylogenetic relationships and deduce the evolution of their flashing signals.
