The complete mitochondrial genome of Sarcophaga brevicornis (Diptera: Sarcophagidae).

Project description:Sarcophaga brevicornis (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) was of utmost forensic importance due to their wide distribution, ubiquitous, and synanthropic nature. The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of S. brevicornis was first sequenced and assembled in this study. The length of circular mitogenome was 15,152?bp, which showed in a typical arthropod genome, including 13 protein-coding genes (13 PCGs), two ribosomal RNA (two rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (22 tRNA) genes, and an AT-rich region. Its nucleotide composition was A 39.0%, C 12.7%, G 10.6%, and T 37.7%. Furthermore, phylogenetic relationships of S. brevicornis and the published sarcophagid species were evaluated based on 13 PCGs. The results indicated that S. brevicornis was clearly separated from the other sarcophagid species, but it was closed to the species of Sarcophaga similis. This study provided a significant database reference for genetic structure and phylogenetic analysis of Sarcophagidae.

The whole mitochondrial genome of Sarcophaga kanoi (Diptera: Sarcophagidae).

Project description:Sarcophaga kanoi Park, 1962, a widely distributed flesh fly in Southeast Asia, is important in forensic entomology. Notably, its mitochondrial genome could provide the unique and accurate molecular information in species identification which facilitate forensic practices in estimation of postmortem interval especially in putrefied cadaver cases. Thus, we sequenced and characterized the whole mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of S. kanoi for the first time, which was collected from Southern China in this study. The 15,319 bp mitogenome contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and a putative control region. The total nucleotide composition of this circular genome was 39.7% for A, 9.3% for G, 14.2% for C, and 36.8% for T. To better understand the genetic relationship, the phylogenetic analysis was constructed according to the 13 PCGs sequence of S. kanoi and other 11 species. The phylogenetic tree showed that the S. kanoi was placed in a sub-clade with S. similis. Our study updated the new genetic information for dipteran mitogenomes, which could broaden the background knowledge for forensic entomology, molecular genetics and developmental biology. It has the potential application on the species identification using genetic markers.
