COMPLETE MITOCHONDRIAL GENOME SEQUENCE OF D. LITTORALIS (DIPTERA: DROSOPHILIDAE): COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE MITOCHONDRIAL GENOMES IN DROSOPHILA VIRILIS SPECIES GROUP
Abstract
An analysis of the complete sequence of D. littoralis mitochondrial genome (mt-genome) is presented. The basic characters of the mt-genome, such as size, nucleotide composition, genes order, as well as a degree of purifying selection pressure on different parts of the mt-genome are reported. The features of protein-coding genes and tRNA genes are discussed. The structure of mtDNA control region and intergenic spacers in the virilis group are presented. The fragments of mitochondrial genes atp6 and cox3 were found in the nuclear genome of D. virilis. The evolution history of mitochondrial and nuclear genes data indicates that mitochondrial gene transfer to the nucleus is a recent event and connected to the activity of retrotransposons.
