Nasutitermes tiantongensis
belongs to Nasutitermitinae and its mitochondrial genome was determined in this study. It consisted of 13 PCGs, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and an A + T-rich control region, and its length was 15824 bp. The phylogenetic analysis suggested that the genus
Nasutitermes
was not monophyletic, and
N. tiantongensis
formed a sister group with
Bultitermes laticephalus.
The mitochondrial genome of
N. tiantongensis
provides a resource for evolutionary analysis within Nasutitermitinae.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
