Abstract:In the present study, we determined complete mitogenome of Brontispa longissima, the first for the tribe Cryptonychini. This mitochondrial genome contains 15,696 bp, with an AþT content of 72.2% (GenBank accession no. MN052901). All of the 22 tRNA genes displayed a typical cloverleaf structure, with the exception of tRNASer (TCT). 12 PCGs were initiated by ATN codons, and ND1 started with TTG. Eight PCGs used the typical stop codon 'TAA' and 'TGA', while five PCGs terminated with incomplete stop codons "T". Ph… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
