Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of Didesmococcus koreanus is described in this study. The complete mitogenome is a 15,162 bp circular DNA molecule with a high A + T content of 82.5%, containing the typical 37 genes. A novel gene rearrangement is detected in the mitogenome. The phylogenetic result supports the monophyly of Coccoidea and the closer relationship between the Ceroplastinae and Coccinae.

M-Cdk Drives Transition Into Mitosis
Cyclin-dependent kinases, or Cdks, work in concert with cyclins to control cell cycle transitions. M-Cdk, a complex of Cdk1 bound to M cyclin, is a well-known example of this coordinated control that drives the transition from the G2 to the M phase.
