The complete mitochondrial genome of Tetranychus truncatus Ehara (Acari: Tetranychidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome ofTetranychus truncatusEhara (Acari: Tetranychidae) is a typical circular DNA with length of 13,089 bp (GenBank accession number: KM111296). The genome contains all 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), an A + T-rich region, two rRNA genes and 22 tRNA genes. The A + T content of the mitochondrial genome is 84.5%. The AT-skew is positive (0.032) while the GC-skew is negative (−0.058). The gene arrangement is conserved inT. urticae, Panonychus citriandP. ulmiwhich are in the same family (Tetranychidae). The A + T-rich region is only 43 bp in length with high A + T content (97.7%). All the PCGs start with typical ATD codons. Eight PCGs have complete TAA stop codons, while five PCGs have an incomplete stop codon (T). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
