Abstract
The complete mitogenome sequence of the flea, Jellisonia amadoi (Siphonaptera: Ceratophyllidae), was sequenced. The 17,031 bp long genome has the standard metazoan complement of 37 genes, in the insect ancestral genome arrangement. The very large (2338 bp) A + T rich region is marked by two macro-repeats and multiple microsatellite and homopolymer regions. The protein-coding, rRNA and tRNA genes are all highly similar to homologues in related insect orders - similar length, few indels and high proportion of invariant sites. Sequencing of a flea mitogenome provides data for one of the last three insect orders from which data were lacking and provides further proof that parasitic life histories alone do not cause aberrant mitogenomes.
期刊介绍：
Previously published under the title DNA Sequence (Vols 1-19.3), Mitochondrial DNA accepts original high-quality reports based on mapping, sequencing and analysis of mitochondrial DNA and RNA. Descriptive papers on DNA sequences from mitochondrial genomes, and also analytical papers in the areas of population genetics, medical genetics, phylogenetics and human evolution that use mitochondrial DNA as a source of evidence for studies will be considered for publication. The editorial board will also consider manuscripts that examine population genetic and systematic theory that specifically address the use of mitochondrial DNA sequences.
