Complete mitochondrial genome of Caloglyphus berlesei (Acaridae: Astigmata): The first representative of the genus Caloglyphus

The complete circular mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Caloglyphus berlesei is 14,273 bp in length, and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes and 22 tRNA genes. Twenty-six genes (9 PCGs, 2 rRNA genes and 15 tRNA genes) are encoded by the majority stand (J-strand), while the remai...

Summary:The complete circular mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Caloglyphus berlesei is 14,273 bp in length, and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes and 22 tRNA genes. Twenty-six genes (9 PCGs, 2 rRNA genes and 15 tRNA genes) are encoded by the majority stand (J-strand), while the remaining are located on the minority strand (N-strand). Most inferred tRNA genes of C. berlesei are short (47–63 bp, average 53.6 ± 3.49 bp) and atypical lacking either the D- or T-arm. The largest non-coding region (341 bp) is present between trnF and trnS1, and contains a microsatellite-like (AT)n sequence and putative secondary structure features. This is the first description of a complete mitogenome of a species belonging to the Caloglyphus (Acaridae: Astigmata) genus. •Sequenced the first complete mitogenome from the Caloglyphus genus.•Revealing that Caloglyphus berlesei mitogenome is highly rearranged.•Most inferred tRNA genes of Caloglyphus berlesei are short and atypical.•Evaluation of largest non-coding region within the Astigmata.
