The complete mitochondrial genome of Ahamus yushuensis Chu et Wang 1985 (Lepidoptera: Hepialidae) and phylogenetic analysis
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Ahamus yushuensis was determined in this study. This mitogenome is 15,336 bp and encodes 37 mitochondrial genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNA genes (rrnL and rrnS). The A. yushuensis m...

| Summary: | The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Ahamus yushuensis was determined in this study. This mitogenome is 15,336 bp and encodes 37 mitochondrial genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNA genes (rrnL and rrnS). The A. yushuensis mitogenome has an A + T content of 82.2% and presents a positive AT-skew (0.052) and a negative GC-skew (−0.236). Twelve PCGs start with a typical ATN codon, whereas a single PCG uses CGA (coxI) as the initial codon. The maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis based on the concatenated nucleotide sequences of 13 PCGs strongly supported the monophyletic relationship of A. yushuensis to the clade of Thitarodes damxungensis and A. yunnanensis. |
