Comparative mitochondrial genome analysis of the firefly, Inflata indica (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) and the first evidence of heteroplasmy in fireflies.

International journal of biological macromolecules | 2019

The first mitochondrial genome of the firefly genus Inflata Boontop, Inflata indica (Lampyridae, Luciolinae) is reported here. Thirteen protein coding genes, 22 tRNA, 2 rRNA genes and a 1570 bp non-coding region were annotated. The comparative analysis showed that the size, GC content, gene content and gene arrangement of this mitochondrial genome are similar to those of other Lampyridae. The mitochondrial phylogenomic analysis showed that I. indica is clustered with other fireflies belonging to the subfamily Luciolinae and most closely related to Pteroptyx maipo. The evolutionary relationship within group of Luciolinae fireflies presented by complete COI phylogeny differs from the relationship based on the mitochondrial phylogenomic tree. This individual firefly also carries mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) heteroplasmy; however, no potential effect of heteroplasmic mutations could be observed in this study. Hence, this study is reporting not only the first mitochondrial genome of the genus Inflata and the comparative mitochondrial genome analysis of fireflies but also the first mitochondrial DNA heteroplasmy in Lampyridae.

MAFFT (tool)

RRID:SCR_011811

Software package as multiple alignment program for amino acid or nucleotide sequences. Can align up to 500 sequences or maximum file size of 1 MB. First version of MAFFT used algorithm based on progressive alignment, in which sequences were clustered with help of Fast Fourier Transform. Subsequent versions have added other algorithms and modes of operation, including options for faster alignment of large numbers of sequences, higher accuracy alignments, alignment of non-coding RNA sequences, and addition of new sequences to existing alignments.
