The complete mitochondrial genome of Bombyx lemeepauli (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) and its phylogenetic relationship

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Bombyx lemmepauli Lemée has been sequenced with 15,801 bp in length (Genbank no. KY620270), and has a base composition of A (43.17%), G (7.40%), C (11.90%), and T (37.86%). Similar to other bombyciod species, it contains a typically conserved structu...

Sumario:The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Bombyx lemmepauli Lemée has been sequenced with 15,801 bp in length (Genbank no. KY620270), and has a base composition of A (43.17%), G (7.40%), C (11.90%), and T (37.86%). Similar to other bombyciod species, it contains a typically conserved structure including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and an A + T-rich region. Excepting cox1 started with CGA, the start codons of the other 12 PCGs were ATN. Eleven of the 13 PCGs ended with TAA, expect for cox1 and cox2, which ended with a single T. The complete mitogenome sequence provided here would be useful for further understanding the evolutional position of B. lemeepauli, which is a key species to relate the famous resource insect B. mori and the important insect pest Rondotia menciana (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae).
