The complete mitochondrial genome of the Dermestes ater DeGeer (Coleoptera: Dermestidae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Dermestes ater DeGeer was obtained by high-throughput sequencing method. The genome was a circular molecule with a length of 15,810 bp and an average sequencing depth of 2375.9×, which contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGS), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and 1 control region. The overall base composition of the mitochondrial DNA was: A 40.85%, C 15.02%, G 10.04%, and T 34.09%. The phylogenetic analysis upon complete mitogenomics revealed that D. ater DeGeer is most closely related to Dermestes tessellatocollis Motschulsky, with high bootstrap values.
