We report the complete mitochondrial genome of firefly, (Olivier). The circular genome of 16,519 bp has a base composition of A (43.81%), C (11.80%), G (8.35%), and T (36.03%). Similar to other Metazoa, our sequence contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a non-coding AT-rich region. We sequenced the mitochondrial genome of fireflies to analyse phylogenetic relationships and deduce the evolution of their flashing signals.
我们报告了(奥利维尔)萤火虫的完整线粒体基因组。该环状基因组长度为16,519 bp,碱基组成为A(43.81%)、C(11.80%)、G(8.35%)和T(36.03%)。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、22个转运RNA基因、两个核糖体RNA基因以及一个富含AT的非编码区域。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。
