Chinese black ant, Smith, also known as Roger has been used as a traditional edible insect and Chinese medicine in China and some southeast countries for thousands of years. In this study, Mitogenome of this species was assembled with high coverage using Illumina sequencing data and is 15,806 bp long in size. The base composition is 37.8% for A, 12.5% for C, 6.4% for G and 43.3% for T. The mitogenome contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. The phylogeny showed that it was closely related to (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) with high bootstrap value supported. The mitogenome of can provide essential DNA molecular data for further phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis.
中华黑蚁,史密斯(也被称为罗杰)在中国和一些东南亚国家作为传统食用昆虫和中药材已被使用了数千年。在本研究中,利用Illumina测序数据以高覆盖率组装了该物种的线粒体基因组,其大小为15,806 bp。碱基组成为:A占37.8%,C占12.5%,G占6.4%,T占43.3%。该线粒体基因组包含13个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA基因和2个核糖体RNA基因。系统发育分析表明,它与(膜翅目:蚁科)关系密切,有高自展值支持。该物种的线粒体基因组可为进一步的系统发育和进化分析提供重要的DNA分子数据。
