ABSTRACT
We present the complete mitochondrial genome of Carausius morosus from Salinas, CA. The mitochondrial genome of C. morosus is circular, AT rich (78.1%), and 16,671 bp in length. It consists of 13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNA, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes and is identical in gene content to Carausius sp.
ABSTRACT
Lessonia spicata (Suhr) Santelices is the most ecologically and economically important kelp from Pacific South America. Here, we contribute to the bioinformatics and evolutionary systematics of the species by performing high throughput sequencing on L. spicata from Valparaiso, Chile. The L. spicata complete mitogenome is 37,097 base pairs (bp) in length and contains 66 genes (GenBank accession MK965907), the complete plastid genome is 130,305 bp and has 173 genes (accession MK965908), and the data assembled 7,630 bp of the nuclear ribosomal cistron (accession MK965909). The organellar genomes are similar in structure and content to others published from the Laminariales.
ABSTRACT
Rupicola peruvianus Latham, known as the Andean Cock-of-the-Rock or locally as Tunqui, is distributed in the Andean cloud forests of South America from Venezuela to Bolivia. Here, we contribute to the bioinformatics and evolutionary systematics of the Cotingidae by performing high-throughput sequencing analysis on R. peruvianus from Luya, Amazonas, Peru. The R. peruvianus mitogenome is 17,035 base pairs (bp) in length and contains 37 genes (GenBank accession No. MN602289). The mitogenome is similar in structure and content to published mitogenomes from the neognathid orders Passeriformes and Falconiformes. Phylogenomic analysis of the R. peruvianus mitogenome situates it in a clade with the Pipridae, sister to the Tyrannidae. We anticipate that further mitogenome sequencing of the parvorder Tyrannida will improve the phylogenetic resolution and our understanding of the evolutionary history of this taxon.
