Complete mitochondrial genome of Conocephalus melaenus (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae): a tRNA-like sequence on the J-strand.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of Conocephalus melaenus (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) has been decoded for the first time by next generation sequencing method. The overall base composition of C. melaenus mitogenome are 37.1% for A, 17.3% for C, 11.1% for G and 34.4% for T, and has high AT content of 71.5%. The complete mitochondrial genome of C. melaenus is 15,923 bp in length, and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and one A + T-rich region. An unusual feature of the C. melaenus mitogenome is the presence of a tRNA^Ser(UCN) -like sequence on the J-strand, and the tRNA^Ser(UCN) -like sequence have proper folding structures and anticodons sequences. Using the 13 PCGs and 2 rR
