The complete mitochondrial genome of stretch spider Tetragnatha maxillosa (Araneae: Tetragnathidae)

Abstract

The stretch spider Tetragnatha maxillosa (Araneae: Tetragnathidae) is found all over the world. In the present study, we investigated the complete mitochondrial genome of T. maxillosa and the mitogenome is a circular molecule of 14 414 bp in length, consists of 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a control region. The A + T content of the overall base composition of H-strand is 74.5% (T: 40.4%; C: 9.6%; A: 34.1%; G: 15.9%). COI gene begins with TTT as start codon, COII and COIII genes begin with TTG as start codon, ATP8, Cyt b, ND2, and ND4L genes begin with ATT as start codon, and other six protein-coding genes start with ATA. ATP6, ATP8, COI, COIII, ND1, ND3, and ND6 genes are terminated with TAA as stop codon, Cyt b, ND2, ND4, ND4L, and ND5 end with T, and COII ends with TAG. In addition, the phylogenetic relationships from neighbor-joining analyses based on the 13 concatenated PCGs indicated (Tetragnatha (Nephila (Argiope (Araneus, Neoscona)))).
