Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016;27(2):888-9. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2014.919490. Epub 2014 Jun 12.

Abstract

In this study, we report the basic characteristics of the Rhipicephalus simus mitochondrial genome, including structural organization and base composition of the rRNAs, tRNAs and protein-coding genes. The total length of the mitogenome was 14,929 bp, included 37 genes and with a genome structure similar to other ticks.

Keywords: Genome; Rhipicephalus simus; mitochondrion.
