The complete mitochondrial genome of the Sara Longwing Heliconius sara has been reconstructed from the whole-genome Illumina sequencing data. The mitochondrial genome is 15,372 bp in size with the highly asymmetric overall A + T content of 80.6%. Annotation of mitochondrial genome revealed a total of 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and 1 D-loop region. Most PCGs are initiated with the ATN codons, while COX1 and ND1 start with CGA and TTG, respectively. COX1, COX2, and ND4 harbor the incomplete stop codon T, while all the others are terminated with the TAR codons. The complete mitochondrial genome of H. Sara would contribute to our further understanding of the phylogeny and evolution of the genus Heliconius and related taxa.
已从全基因组Illumina测序数据中重建了萨拉长翅凤蝶(Heliconius sara)的完整线粒体基因组。线粒体基因组大小为15,372 bp,总体A+T含量高度不对称,为80.6%。线粒体基因组注释共揭示了37个基因,包括13个蛋白质编码基因(PCGs)、22个转运RNA(tRNAs)、2个核糖体RNA(rRNAs)和1个D环区域。大多数PCGs以ATN密码子起始,而COX1和ND1分别以CGA和TTG起始。COX1、COX2和ND4含有不完全终止密码子T,而其他所有基因均以TAR密码子终止。萨拉长翅凤蝶的完整线粒体基因组将有助于我们进一步了解长翅凤蝶属及相关类群的系统发育和进化。
