The complete mitogenome of the dampwood termite Zootermopsis nevadensis was reconstructed from whole-genome Illumina sequencing data with an average coverage of 7052×. The circular genome is 15,444 bp in length, and consists of 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and one D-loop region. All PCGs are initiated with ATN codons, except for the ND1 and ND5 genes with the start codon GTG. Some PCGs harbor TAG (ND1) or incomplete stop codon T (COII, ND5 & Cytb), while the others use TAA as their stop codons. The nucleotide composition is asymmetric (45.8% A, 19.8% C, 10.9% G, 23.5% T) with an overall GC content of 30.7%. These data would contribute to the design of novel molecular markers for population and evolutionary studies of this and related termite species.
通过平均覆盖度为7052×的全基因组Illumina测序数据，重建了湿木白蚁内华达古白蚁（Zootermopsis nevadensis）的完整线粒体基因组。该环状基因组长度为15444 bp，由22个转运RNA（tRNA）、13个蛋白质编码基因（PCG）、两个核糖体RNA（rRNA）和一个D环区域组成。除了起始密码子为GTG的ND1和ND5基因外，所有PCG均以ATN密码子起始。一些PCG含有TAG（ND1）或不完整的终止密码子T（COII、ND5和Cytb），而其他PCG则使用TAA作为终止密码子。核苷酸组成不对称（A占45.8%、C占19.8%、G占10.9%、T占23.5%），总体GC含量为30.7%。这些数据将有助于设计用于该白蚁及相关白蚁物种群体和进化研究的新型分子标记。
