The complete mitochondrial genome of an Asian longicorn beetle, Neoplocaederus obesus (Gahan) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae)

Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the Neoplocaederus obesus (GenBank accession number: MT525962) was sequenced. The 15,683 bp long genome has the standard metazoan complement of 38 genes. These genes contain 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 control region. The nucleotide composition of the N. obesus mitogenome was A: 37.20%, T: 32.19%, G: 12.10%, C: 18.52%. The A＋T content was 69.39%, showing strong AT skew.
