Abstract
Sarcophaga pterygota (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) plays a crucial role in medical and veterinary management. The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of S. pterygota was first sequenced and annotated. The circle DNA is composed of 13 protein-coding genes (13 PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA (2 rRNAs), 22 transfer RNA (22 tRNAs) and a AT-rich region. It shows that arrangement of the genes is similar with the classical metazoan. The size of mitogenome is 15,236 bp containing A (40.0%), G (9.3%), T (36.6%), and C (14.1%). Moreover, phylogenetic analysis reveals that the branch of S. pterygota is clustered separately. This study enriches the mitogenome database of flesh flies and represents progress for analyzing of phylogenetic relationships.
