The complete mitochondrial genome of Siberian odorous ant, Dolichoderus sibiricus Emery, 1889 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Abstract

We have determined the mitochondrial genome of Dolichoderus sibiricus Emery 1889. The circular mitogenome of D. sibiricus was 16,086 bp including 13 protein-coding genes (PGCs), two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and a single large non-coding region of 622 bp. The base composition was AT-biased (81.8%). Gene order of D. sibiricus is exactly same to Linepithema humile even though the two species belong to different tribes. Phylogenetic tree agrees with current phylogenetic placement of Dolichoderus in Dolichoderinae; while contradicts on relations of three subfamilies, Dolichoderinae, Myrmicinae, and Formicinae. D. sibiricus mitochondrial genome will be a good resource for further analyses.
