The complete mitochondrial genome of Korean indigenous stag beetle, Dorcus koreanus

Abstract

In this study, the mitogenome sequences of Korean indigenous stag beetle, Dorcus koreanus, was completely determined by next-generation sequencing analysis. The complete mitogenome of D. koreanus has 15,421 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs, and one control region. The gene orders and content were identical with previously recorded mitogenomes of Lucanidae species. Phylogenetic analysis based on mitogenome dataset, consisting PCGs was revealed the taxonomical position in the family Lucanidae.
