The complete mitochondrial genome of the wild silkworm moth, Actias selene

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the red crayfish, Procambarus clarkii (Decapoda: Cambaridae)

“…The longest spacer sequence is located between the trnN and rrnS. The mt genome of P. clarkii has a total of 22 bp overlap between genes in 11 locations, with the longest 7 bp overlap located in between atp8 and atp6, the similar results were found in some animals Liu et al, 2012). Thirteen pairs of genes are directly adjacent without overlapping nucleotide.…”

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the Oriental armyworm, Mythimna separata (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

“…The overlapping between trnW and trnC is also detected in other lepidopteran species, such as Pieris (Ar togeia) melete Ménétries (Hong et al, 2009), Antheraea pernyi Guérin-Méneville , Ostrinia fur nacalis (Guenée) and Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) (Coates et al, 2005). A seven nucleotide overlap between atp8 and atp6 is common to many other insect mitogenomes, such as Samia cynthia cynthia (Drury) (Sima et al, 2013), Erio gyna pyretorum (Westwood) , Chilo suppressalis (Walker) (Yin et al, 2011), Phthonandria at rilineata (Butler) (Yang et al, 2008), Actias selene (Hüb-ner) (Liu et al, 2012a), Diaphania pyloalis Walker , and Bombyx mori L., strains H9 and Dazao Liu et al, 2013). The mitogenome of M. sepa rata contains 162 bp of intergenic spacer sequence spread over 16 regions, ranging in size from 1 to 50 bp (Table 3), which is considerably longer than that of other Lepidoptera species, including Manduca sexta (L.) (115 bp over 13 regions), A. selene (137 bp over 13 regions), but shorter than Coreana raphaelis (Oberthür).…”

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Spilarctia robusta (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea: Erebidae) and its phylogenetic implications

“…This remarkable feature is also reported for several arthropod species including A. formosae (-0.027), C. pomonella (-0.004), H. vitta (-0.010) and A. pernyi (-0.021). Interestingly, the GC skewness (−0.362) of the rRNA is much lower than in previously sequenced animals and further reveals that the mitgenome is more biased toward Cs than Gs Liu et al, 2012).…”

“…The longest intergenic spacer (37 bp) is located at the junction trnQ-nad2, with an extremely high A+T content, which is frequently recorded in the mitogenomes of Lepidoptera (He et al, 2015). The intergenic spacers in the mitogenome studied is longer than that in A. selene (137 bp over 13 regions), but shorter than that in O. lunifer (371 bp over 20 regions) (Salvato et al, 2008;Liu et al, 2012). The 17 bp spacer between trnS2 (UCN) and nad1 contains the "ATACTAA" motif (Fig.…”
