The complete mitochondrial genome of the important mycoparasite (Hypocreales, Ascomycota).

The complete nucleotide sequence of mitochondrial genome of the important mycoparasitic fungus was determined using the next-generation sequencing technology. The circular molecule is 40,921 bp long with a GC content of 27.90%. Gene prediction revealed 42 genes encoding 15 conserved proteins, 25 tRNAs, the large and small ribosomal RNAs. All genes are located on the same strand. It is found to be similar to the previously sequenced mitochondrial genomes of and . The differences lie in the copy number of and locations of and . The phylogenetic analysis confirmed as a sister taxon of in (Bionectriaceae). The mitochondrial genome of will contribute to the understanding of phylogeny and evolution of Hypocreales.
