We report the complete mitochondrial genome of firefly, (Olivier). The circular genome of 18,594 bp and has a base composition of A (41.26%), C (11.64%), G (10.18%), T (36.92%). Similar to other Metazoa, our sequence contains 13 protein-coding genes, 21 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a non-coding AT-rich region. We sequenced the mitochondrial genome of fireflies to analyze phylogenetic relationships and deduce the evolution of their flashing signals.
我们报道了萤火虫(奥利维尔)的完整线粒体基因组。该环状基因组为18,594 bp,碱基组成为A(41.26%)、C(11.64%)、G(10.18%)、T(36.92%)。与其他后生动物相似,我们的序列包含13个蛋白质编码基因、21个转运RNA基因、两个核糖体RNA基因以及一个富含AT的非编码区。我们对萤火虫的线粒体基因组进行测序,以分析系统发育关系并推断其闪光信号的进化。
