RESUMEN
We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of the Chinese Rhus gall aphid Meitanaphis microgallis (Hemiptera: Aphididae: Eriosomatinae: Fordini) by the genome skimming method on an Illunima platform. The assembled mitogenome is 16,191 bp in length with a very high A + T content of 84.3%. This genome consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and a control region. All the protein-coding genes have a typical ATN initiation codon and TAA termination codon except COX1 and ND4 with a single T as stop codon. The tRNAs ranged in size from 59 to 77 bp and formed a clover-leaf secondary structure except tRNA-Ser (AGN). We constructed the phylogenetic relationship of Fordini aphids including all the Rhus gall aphids, and the ML tree showed that M. microgallis grouped with M. elongallis as its sister group.
RESUMEN
We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Siberian Roe Deer, Capreolus pygargus, in China by the shotgun genome-skimming methods. The mitogenome of C. pygargus is totally 16,353 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a control region. The sequence has a higher A + T content of 63.4% than G + C 36.6% and with a base composition of 33.4% A, 23.2% C, 13.4% G, and 30.0% T. All of the 13 PCGs initiate a typical ATN codon except Nd4L with GTG. Six PCGs terminate with a TAA codon, while Cyt b, Atp8, and Nd1 terminate with AGA, TAG, and TA-, respectively. Whereas, Cox3, Nd2, Nd3, and Nd4 terminate with a single T-. The phylogenetic trees of the subfamily Capreolinae with 13 PCGs indicated that Capreolus species were well-supported as a monophyletic group, which is sister to the clade of Hydropotes with well-support.
RESUMEN
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the leopard cat Prionailurus bengalensis in China was sequenced using the shotgun genome-skimming method. The mitogenome of P. bengalensis is totally 17,006 bp in length with a higher A + T content of 60.4% than that of G + C and consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and one non-coding control region. All the PCGs initiate with a typical ATN codon and terminate with a TAA codon except for the four PCGs (COX1, ND2, ND3, and ND4) terminating with a single T-and one gene CYT B with AGA as stop codon. Most of the tRNA genes have a clover-leaf secondary structure except for tRNAS (AGN), which loses a dihydrouridine (DHU) arm. The ML phylogenetic tree showed that P. viverrinus nested in the group of P. bengalensis individuals, which is close to the clade clustered by the two genera Otocolobus and Felis.
