Abstract:
We describe the mitogenome sequence of Leucoma chrysoscela (Collenette, 1934) collected in the Longtan National Forest Park, which is located in the southeast of China. The assembled mitogenome is 15,508 bp in length and consists 13 protein coding genes, 22 transfer-RNA genes, 2 ribosomal-RNA genes, and one A + T rich region. The most common start codon for 13 PCGs is ATT and the most common termination codon is TAA. The overall G + C content was only 20.45% in the heavy strand. The result of phylogenetic analysis shows that the relationship of L. chrysoscela is close to the species in the same subfamily Lymantriinae.

LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops...
