The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Caryanda elegans (Orthoptera: Acrididae)

The complete mitogenome of Caryanda elegans is 15,459 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 1 A + T-rich region. The gene order of the mitogenome is identical with most orthopteran insects. Total 105 bp intergenic spacers (IGSs) in 19 regions and total...

Description
Summary:The complete mitogenome of Caryanda elegans is 15,459 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 1 A + T-rich region. The gene order of the mitogenome is identical with most orthopteran insects. Total 105 bp intergenic spacers (IGSs) in 19 regions and total 49 bp overlaps in 9 regions were found in this species. The As, Ts, Cs, Gs and AT content of the mitogenome is 42.8%, 32.1%, 14.5%, 10.6% and 74.9%, respectively. All protein-coding genes start with typical ATN codon, and end with TAA codon except for ND5 and ND1, which terminated with T and TAG codons instead, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that genetic distances of C. elegans and Pseudoxya diminuta was closer than other species.
