The availability of complete mitochondrial genome (mtgenome) data for Diptera, one of the
largest metazoan orders, in public databases is limited. The advent of high throughput …

Background Sequences and organization of the mitochondrial genome have been used as
markers to investigate evolutionary history and relationships in many taxonomic groups. The …

Recent development of a PCR‐based approach for sequencing vertebrate mitochondrial
genomes has attracted much attention as being more rapid and economical than traditional …

Next-generation sequencing has dramatically fostered insect mitogenomic research in
recent years. However, studies on the insect mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) assembly …

Due to the intriguing morphology, lifecycle, and diversity of butterflies and moths,
Lepidoptera are emerging as model organisms for the study of genetics, evolution and …

Over the past decade the mitochondrial (mt) genome has become the most widely used
genomic resource available for systematic entomology. While the availability of other types …

Background Mitochondrial genomes are the most sequenced genomes after bacterial and
fungal genomic DNA. However, little information on mitogenomes is available for multiple …

Mitochondrial genomes play a significant role in reconstructing phylogenetic relationships
and revealing molecular evolution of insects. However, only four mitochondrial genomes …

Complete mitochondrial genomes have been shown to be reliable markers for phylogeny
reconstruction among diverse animal groups. However, the relative difficulty and high cost …

In the present study, the complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of
Daphnis nerii (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) is described. The mitogenome (15,247 bp) of D …
