Abstract:

"In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitogenome Dahira obliquifascia to compare mitogenomic structures and reconstruct phylogenetic relationships. The complete mitogenome sequence of D. obliquifascia is circular, 15,939 bp in size and encodes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA) and a control region (CR). Nucleotide composition is highly biased toward AþT nucleotides (80.3%). All 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) initiate with the standard start codon of ATN and terminate with the typical stop codon TAA/TAG. Phylogenetic analyses were performed using 13 protein coding genes (PCGs) showed that D. obliquifascia is closely related to Theretra oldenlandiae."
