The mitochondrial genome of the assassin bug Acanthaspis cincticrus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Acanthaspis cincticrus is described in this study. The sequenced mitogenome is a typical circular DNA molecule of 15,686 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a control region. All protein-coding genes initiate with...

Description
Summary:The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Acanthaspis cincticrus is described in this study. The sequenced mitogenome is a typical circular DNA molecule of 15,686 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a control region. All protein-coding genes initiate with ATN as the start codon and terminate with TAA codons, except COIII, ND3 and ND5 use a single T residue as the termination codon. Secondary structures of all tRNAs were predicted. The monophyly of the subfamily Reduviinae is not supported by maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree.
