Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of Pholcus sp. is a circular molecule of 14,279 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a control region. The A + T content of the overall base composition of H-strand is 65.8% (T: 39.1%; C: 10.7%; A: 26.7%; G: 23.5%). COII and ND2 genes begin with GTG as start codon, COI, ND4L and ND5 genes begin with ATA as start codon, ATP8, ND1 and ND3 genes begins with ATT as start codon, while other five protein-coding genes start with a typical ATG initiation codon. ATP6, ATP8, COIII, ND2, ND4, ND4L and ND6 genes are terminated with TAA as stop codon, COI, Cyt b, ND1 and ND3 end with TAG, while COII and ND5 end with T.
