The complete mitochondrial genomes of Musca domestica and Scathophaga stercoraria (Diptera: Muscoidea: Muscidae and Scathophagidae).

The complete mitochondrial genomes ofMusca domestica(Muscidae) andScathophaga stercoraria(Scathophagidae) are circular molecules of 16,108 bp and 16,223 bp in length, respectively. The first complete mitochondrial genome of Scathophagidae is reported here. Both genomes contain all 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a large control region, with conserved arrangement pattern reported in all cyclorrhaphan flies. All PCGs start with standard ATN codons except for theCO1which starts with TCG in both species. All PCGs terminate with the common stop codons TAA or TAG, except for theCO2andND5in both species andND4inS. stercorariawhich end with a single T. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
