Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of Antheraea pernyi strain Yu7 (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) is a circular molecule of 15,572 bp in length, with 37 typical coding genes and 1 non-coding A T-rich region. All protein coding genes (PCGs) start with a typical ATN initiation codon, except for the cox1 gene, which begins with TTAG codon. Nine genes used standard complete termination codon TAA, whereas the cox1, cox2, nad3 and nad5 genes end with single T. The non-coding AT-rich region is 554 bp long. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the Antheraea pernyi Yu7 was close to Saturniidae.
