Abstract
We report the complete mitochondrial genome of firefly, Asymmetricata circumdata (Motschulsky).The circular genome of 15,967 bp has a base composition of A (42.44%), C (12.83%), G (8.79%) and T (36.16%). Similar to other Metazoa, our sequence contains 13 protein-coding genes. All 13 protein-coding genes were initiated by the ATN (ATT, ATA and ATG) codon. Eight protein-coding genes stopped with TAA or TAG codon and the other 5 genes have an incomplete termination codon, a single T. We sequenced the mitochondrial genome of fireflies to analyze phylogenetic relationships and deduce the evolution of their flashing signals.Entities:
