Full-length transcriptome profiling of Aphidius gifuensis mitochondrial genome with gene rearrangement and control region duplication.

ABSTRACT: Although mitochondrial gene rearrangement has been observed in many insect lineages, little is known about how it affects mitochondrial gene transcription. To address this question, we first constructed a quantitative transcription map for Aphidius gifuensis, a species of parasitoid wasp known to have a highly rearranged mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) and two potential control regions (CRs). Based on this transcription map, we assessed the models of the mitochondrial transcription and post-transcription cleavage. We found that the J and N strand of this mitogenome differ significantly in transcriptional regulation. On the J strand, we found two transcription initiation sites (TISs), five transcription termination sites (TTSs), and six polycistronic primary transcripts whereas onl
