The whole mitochondrial genome of Sarcophaga kanoi (Diptera: Sarcophagidae).

ABSTRACT: Sarcophaga kanoi Park, 1962, a widely distributed flesh fly in Southeast Asia, is important in forensic entomology. Notably, its mitochondrial genome could provide the unique and accurate molecular information in species identification which facilitate forensic practices in estimation of postmortem interval especially in putrefied cadaver cases. Thus, we sequenced and characterized the whole mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of S. kanoi for the first time, which was collected from Southern China in this study. The 15,319 bp mitogenome contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and a putative control region. The total nucleotide composition of this circular genome was 39.7% for A, 9.3% for G, 14.2% for C, and 36.8% for
