Abstract

Fannia scalaris (Fabricius, 1794) is closely related to human life in ecological habits, which can lead to health concerns since they feed on various contamination sources. In this study, we first present the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of F. scalaris (GenBank No. MT017706). The length of this mitogenome was composed of 15,040 base pairs, including 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA, and an AT-rich region. It consisted of A 39.3%, G 9.1%, C 13.0%, and T 38.6%. The arrangement of the genes was consistent with that of the ancestral metazoan. Furthermore, phylogenetic relationship indicated that F. scalaris was obviously separated from the muscid flies. This study provides useful genetic data in order to further understand the evolutionary relationship of the Muscidae.
