Abstract
The mitochondrial genome of Apteroperla tikumana was assembled from transcriptome using SOAPdenovo-Trans. A nearly complete mitogenome, 15 564 bp in length, was obtained, including 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. The base composition is A (34.21%), T (32.29%), C (19.86%), and G (13.64%). A phylogram was reconstructed using the mitogenomes of A. tikumana and its relatives using the distance method (neighbor joining, NJ). This mitogenome will assist a variety of biodiversity researches, especially in taxonomy and phylogeny of stoneflies.
