The complete mitochondrial genome data of the Common Rose butterfly, Pachliopta aristolochiae (Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea, Papilionidae) from Malaysia

Abstract

Here, we present the complete mitochondrial genome of Pachliopta aristolochiae , a Common Rose butterfly from Malaysia. The sequence was generated using Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequencing platform. The mitogenome is 15,235bp long, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and two D-loop regions. The total base composition was (81.6%), with A (39.3%), T (42.3%), C (11.0%) and G (7.3%). The gene order of the three tRNAs was trnM-trnI-trnQ , which differs from the ancestral insect gene order trnI-trnQ-trnM . Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that the sequenced Pachliopta aristolochiae in this data is closely related to Losaria neptunus (NC 037868), with highly supported ML and BI analysis. The data presented in this work can provide useful resources for other researchers to study deeper into the phylogenetic relationships of Lepidoptera and the diversification of the Pachliopta species. Also, as one of the bioindicator species, this data can be used to assess environmental changes in the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem via enviromental DNA approahes. The mitogenome of Pachliopta aristolochiae is available in GenBank under the accession number MZ781228.

Unfolding the mitochondrial genome structure of green semilooper (Chrysodeixis acuta Walker): An emerging pest of onion (Allium cepa L.)

“…The spacer region between trnS2 (UCN) and nad1 includes two motifs 'ATACTAA' and 'TACTAAAAATAAAT' of 7 and 14 bp respectively (Fig 3). The intergenic spacer region between the genes trnS2 (UCN) and nad1 includes the 'ATACTAA' motif, which is commonly present in most lepidopteran species; even though the size of the intergenic spacer region varies [52,[69][70][71]. This spacer region is generally considered a constitutive synapo-morphic feature of the lepidopteran mitochondrial genomes because this region won't present in non-lepidopteran insects species [72].…”

“… 2014 ) (default parameters) to remove reads shorter than 15 bp after trimming (Miga et al. 2022 ). A total of 10,447,566 reads were retained and annotated using MITOS2 web server (Bernt et al.…”

Characterization of the nearly complete mitochondrial genome of ochraceous darkies, Euphaea ochracea Selys, 1859 (Odonata: Zygoptera: Euphaeidae) and phylogenetic analysis

“…The predicted protein-coding genes were further verified with the Open Reading Frame (ORF) Finder server ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/orffinder/ ) following Miga et al. ( 2022 ), by aligning the genes with those of the other Euphaea species using Jalview 2 v11.1.4 (Waterhouse et al. 2009 ) to improve the annotation quality.…”
