Mitochondrial genome dataset of <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> Meigen, 1830 (fruit fly) from Pakistan.

ABSTRACT: Drosophila melanogaster is one of the most employed animal models and was amongst the first organisms selected for genome sequencing. Geographically isolated populations of D. melanogaster have shown to harbour distinct allelic makeup. In this data article, we present the whole mitochondrial draft genome sequence of a white eye mutant of D. melanogaster, dubbed as ANU-1. The strain was isolated from wildtype population. This is the first report of the mitochondrial genome of D. melanogaster from Pakistan. The complete mitochondrial genome of D. melanogaster ANU-1 is 19,116 bp in length containing 13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and an AT-rich region of 4208 bp in length. Phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial DNA sequences clust
