Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Omosita colon (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae)

Omosita colon (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) is an economically important storage pest worldwide and a forensically important beetle. The first complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of O. colon was sequenced in this study using the next-generation sequencing. The mitogenome of O. co...

Descripción
Sumario:Omosita colon (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) is an economically important storage pest worldwide and a forensically important beetle. The first complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of O. colon was sequenced in this study using the next-generation sequencing. The mitogenome of O. colon is circular with a total length of 16,544 bp, which consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a non-coding control region. The order and orientation of genes were identical with that of the ancestral insects. This study provides genomic data for mitogenome library of the genus Omosita to investigate evolutionary and systematic studies. It also provides a molecular basis to infer the postmortem interval (PMI(min)) with O. colon.
