The complete mitochondrial genome of Graphomya rufitibia (Diptera: Muscidae)

Abstract

Graphomya rufitibia (Diptera: Muscidae) was distributed worldwide. In this study, the complete mitogenome of G. rufitibia was sequenced and annotated, and the full-length was a 15,374 bp fragment, consisting of A (40.64%), G (8.96%), T (36.80%), and C (13.59%). The mitogenome is composed of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a non-coding AT-rich region. Most PCGs used the canonical putative codon to start and stop, 21 tRNAs are folded into the classic clover-leaf structure, with the one exception of tRNA-Ser (AGN). A total length of 11,182 bp encoding 3727 amino acids, and account for 72.7% of the whole mitogenome. Phylogenetic analyses showed that G. rufitibia belongs to family Mydaeinae.

The first mitochondrial genome of Sepsis monostigma (Diptera: Sepsidae)

“…Almost the entire mitochondrial genome has been accurately obtained by two methods, except for the absence of the AT control region. This mitogenome of S. monostigma is 14,887 bp long, which contains of 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes and a part of the AT control region, it was similar with related species reported before (Simon et al 1994;Zhang et al 2013;Zhao et al 2013;Li et al 2015;Chen et al 2018;She et al 2020).…”

Phylogeny and Evolutionary Timescale of Muscidae (Diptera: Calyptratae) Inferred from Mitochondrial Genomes

“…The genus Graphomya was close to Limnophorini (Coenosiinae), and the genera Hebecnema and Mydaea were grouped with Phaoniinae by four genes [ 16 ]. The Mydaeinae represented by Graphomya rufitibia alone were grouped with Reinwardtiinae or Reinwardtiinae + (Muscinae + Azeliinae) by mtgenomes [ 23 , 41 , 75 ]. Those analyses lacked data from Phaoniinae and Coenosiinae, which may cause the bias in phylogenetic reconstruction.…”
