AI Article Synopsis
- - The complete mitochondrial genome of the first Gomeridesmida species has been sequenced, measuring 14,825 base pairs and including 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 2 rRNA, and 22 tRNA) in an AT-rich region.
- - The genomic analysis reveals a base composition of 40.1% A, 36.4% T, 15.8% C, and 7.6% G, leading to a GC content of 23.5%, indicating a distant relationship to other known Diplopoda species.
- - This characterization of the Glomeridesmida species enhances our understanding of their evolution and supports conservation efforts for diverse invertebrate life found in Amazonian
Article Abstract
We report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of , the first sequenced genome of the order Gomeridesmida. The genome is 14,825 pb in length and encodes 37 mitochondrial (13 PCGs, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA) genes and contains a typical AT-rich region. The base composition of the mitogenome was A (40.1%), T (36.4%), C (15.8%), and G (7.6%), with an GC content of 23.5%. Our results indicated that is only distantly related to the other Diplopoda species with available mitochondrial genomes in the public databases. As the broadest genetic characterization of a Glomeridesmida species available to date, the mitogenome of will help understanding the evolution of such a little-known millipede group. Also, our data will be important for the characterization and conservation of the diverse invertebrate troglofauna of the Amazonian caves.
