The complete mitochondrial genome of Carposina sasakii (Lepidoptera: Carposinidae)

The peach fruit moth, Carposina sasakii belongs to Carposinidae in Lepidoptera. In this paper, we described the complete mitogenome of C. sasakii. It is 15,611 bp in length, including 13 PCGs, 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs and a major noncoding A + T-rich region, which revealed the typical gene content found in other metazoan mitogenomes. The overall base composition is 42.0% A, 39.5% T, 7.75% G and 10.75% C. The A + T-rich region is located between rrnS and trnM. There is a motif ATAGA in downstream of rrnS followed by a 19 bp Poly-T stretch. The Poly-A is not found in upstream of trnM, and the position of Poly-A is replaced by a stem-loop structure. There are eight mononucleotide repeat sequences (Tn/An) with the length of 7 bp-19bp, three dinucleotide repeat sequences (TA)n/(AT)n, and a longer repeat sequence (AATATATA)5 in A + T-rich region. The mononucleotide repeat sequences occur repeatedly in A + T-rich reigion of C. sasakii, which is special in insects sequenced of Lepidoptera.
