The complete mitochondrial genome of the firefly Curtos fulvocapitalis (Coleoptera: Lampyridae)

We report the complete mitochondrial genome of the firefly Curtos fulvocapitalis Jeng et Yang 1998. The circular genome is 16,398 bp and has a base composition of A (42.21%), C (11.22%), G (7.73%), and T (38.85%). Our sequence is similar to those of other metazoans, which contain 13 protein-coding g...

Sumario:We report the complete mitochondrial genome of the firefly Curtos fulvocapitalis Jeng et Yang 1998. The circular genome is 16,398 bp and has a base composition of A (42.21%), C (11.22%), G (7.73%), and T (38.85%). Our sequence is similar to those of other metazoans, which contain 13 protein-coding genes. All 13 protein-coding genes were initiated by the ATN (ATT, ATA, and ATG) codon. Nine protein-coding genes stopped with TAA or TAG codons, and the other four genes had an incomplete termination codon, a single T. We sequenced the mitochondrial genome of fireflies to analyze phylogenetic relationships and determine the evolution of their flashing signals.
