Here we report the complete mitochondrial genome of the emperor dragonfly, (Odonata: Aeshnidae) as the first of its genus. Data were generated via next generation sequencing (NGS) and assembled using an iterative approach. The typical metazoan set of 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes) was detected in the same gene order as in other odonate mitogenomes. However, only three intergenic spacer regions are present in lacking the distinct spacer, which was regarded as informative feature of the odonate suborder Anisoptera (dragonflies) but absent in Zygoptera (damselflies). With 16,087 bp, it is the longest anisopteran mitogenome to date, mainly due to the long A + T-rich control region of 1291 bp.
在此，我们报告了帝王蜻蜓（蜻蜓目：大蜓科）的完整线粒体基因组，这是该属的首个此类报告。数据通过下一代测序（NGS）生成，并采用迭代方法进行组装。检测到典型的后生动物的37个基因（13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA基因和2个rRNA基因），其基因顺序与其他蜻蜓线粒体基因组相同。然而，在 中仅存在三个基因间隔区，缺少独特的 间隔区，该间隔区被认为是蜻蜓亚目（蜻蜓）的一个信息特征，但在均翅亚目（豆娘）中不存在。其长度为16,087 bp，是迄今为止最长的蜻蜓线粒体基因组，主要是由于1291 bp的富含A+T的长控制区。
