The mitochondrial genome of Nothybus sumatranus (Diptera: Nothybidae)

The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Nothybus sumatranus is described in the present paper, representing the first mitogenome reported from the family Nothybidae. The nearly complete mitochondrial genome is 16,128 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes. Genome organization, nucleotide composition and codon usage of the mitogenome are noted, and secondary structures of all tRNAs are predicted. The sister relationship between Diopsoidea and Nerioidea was supported by the phylogenetic tree based on Bayesian inference (BI) method.

Automated summary

The mitochondrial genome of Nothybus sumatranus is the first reported from the family Nothybidae, with a nearly complete genome length of 16,128 bp and containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes. The study also noted the genome organization, nucleotide composition, codon usage, and predicted secondary structures of tRNAs, and supported the sister relationship between Diopsoidea and Nerioidea based on a phylogenetic tree using Bayesian inference (BI) method.
