Tianjun yak (Bos grunniens) is a yak breed with strong adaptation to the high-elevation, cold and anoxic environments. Its complete mitochondrial genome is 16,323 bp long with an asymmetric base composition, and harbors the 37 typical mitochondrial genes and one noncoding control region. The PCGs are initiated with the typical ATA or ATG codons, and are terminated with TAA, TAG or the incomplete stop codon T--. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that Tianjun yak is most closely related to the polled yak.The saw-toothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis Linné, is a well-known stored-product insect. Beetles were obtained from Xichuan County and the mitochondrial genome was characterized (GenBank accession number MN535903). The mitogenome consists of a circular DNA molecule of 15,941 bp, with only 27.36% GC content. It comprises 13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA, and 2 rDNA genes. The protein-coding genes have typical ATN (Met) initiation codons and are terminated by typical TAN stop codons.In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the Aphrodita australis was sequenced. The complete mitochondrial genome was circular and 15,288 bp in length, consisted of a typical set of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 1 non-coding control region. All these genes are in the heavy strand. The non-coding control region is 672 bp in length, and located between tRNA-Ser and tRNA-Leu. The overall nucleotides base composition of the heavy strand is 31.02% for A, 22.76% for C, 12.49% for G, and 33.73% for T, with a slight A + T-rich feature (64.75%). All of the PCGs begin with ATG as their start codon and the cox 3, cytb and nad 3 are terminated with TAA, atp8, nad4, nad 4l, and nad 6 are terminated with TAG, while others are terminated by incomplete codon T. Seen from the phylogenetic tree, A. australis has a more close relationship with Goniada japonica than other species.Camellia granthamiana is a rare and endangered plant peculiar to China, and a total of 5 plants have been found at present. Based on the next generation sequencing, the whole chloroplast (Cp) genome of (Camellia granthamiana Sealy) of Camellia oleifera was constructed.In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Camellia granthamiana was assembled based on next generation sequencing.The cp genome was 157,001 bp in length, including a large single copy (LSC) region of 70,387 bp, a small single copy (SSC) region of 18,296 bp and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 52,082 bp. The genome contained 135 genes, including 90 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. The majority of these gene species occurred as a single copy.Jacaranda mimosifolia is a deciduous arbor with blue flowers native to Brazil, Bolivia, and Argentina in South America. After introduction from South America, it was widely cultivated as a garden ornamental plant in South China. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of this ornamental species is reported in this study, based on high-throughput sequencing (Illumina). The complete cp genome is 153,514 bp in length, containing a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 25,408 bp, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,755 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,943 bp. The cp genome contains 130 genes, consisting of 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall A/T content in the cp genome of J. mimosifolia is 61.70%. The phylogenetic analyses indicate that there is a close relationship between J. mimosifolia and Tecomaria capensis. The complete cp sequence of J. mimosifolia will provide a useful resource for the development and utilization of this species as well as for the phylogenetic studies in Bignoniaceae.Specimens of the black coral Tanacetipathes thamnea were collected from the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico. The complete mitochondrial genome of one of these specimens was obtained from genomic DNA by next-generation sequencing technology on the Illumina HiSeq 2500. Only three species of black corals have a completely sequenced mitochondrial genome. These were used to reconstruct the phylogeny for the order Antipatharia. The mitochondrial genome of T. thamnea is 17,712 base pairs and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and 2 transfer RNAs in the following order 16s RNA, COX3, COX1 (with intron), ND4L, COX2, ND4, ND6, ATP8, ATP6, and ND5 (with intron and copies of ND1 and ND3), tRNA-Trp, ND2, 12s RNA, CYTB, tRNA-Met. The gene arrangement is the same as that for Myriopathes japonica with a nearly identical sequence (99.35% identical). These results show that the mitochondrial genome within the family Myriopathidae is highly conserved.The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of Cancer magister was obtained using next-generation sequencing. The circular genome was 39,658 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 26 transfer RNA genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/wrw4.html  Unfortunately, the control region was not found in mitochondrial genome. Of the 41 genes, 24 were encoded by the heavy strand, while the others were encoded by the light strand. The genome composition with A + T bias (69.90%). The phylogenetic analysis showed that C. magister and Cancer pagurus was clustered together, then grouped with A. alayseae and Gandalfus puia, which may suggest Cancroidea was close with Bythograeidae. The newly described mitochondrial genome may provide valuable data for phylogenetic analysis for Cancridae.In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of Unkanodes sapporonus (Matsumura) (Hemiptera Delphacidae). The mitogenome was 17,765 bp in length with A + T content of 75.87%, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region. All protein-coding genes started with ATN, except for nad5, which used noncanonical codon GTG. All tRNAs could fold into typical clover-leaf secondary structures, with the exception of trnS1 (AGN).In this study we review the phylogenetic grouping of the sawfly genus Siobla within the superfamily Tenthredinoidea. Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), we describe the complete mitochondrial genome of Siobla xizangensis Xiao, Huang & Zhou, 1988. The assembled mitochondrial genome of S. xizangensis was found to be 15015 bp, with three tRNA genes rearranged compared to the ancestral organization. The overall nucleotide composition was 42.6% for A, 11.4% for C, 7.7% for G and 38.3% for T. The phylogenetic tree based on heterogeneity models of 36 Symphytan and two Apocritan recovered the monophyly of Tenthredinidae, and S. xizangensis was identified as the sister group of Tenthredo.
